Question on replying to emails

Village Idiot

When I get an email generated in the forum, there is a disclaimer that says if I reply to the email, the sender will have my email address. The sender's return address is xxxxxx@eggheadforum.com.

When I reply, it always gets returned undelivered. Am I doing something wrong?

Village Idiot,

This is a recurring issue.

The reply addresses in forum emails of the forum "xxxxxx@eggheadforum.com" are not valid email addresses. This would require that each forum member have an email box, or forwarder, at eggheadforum.com, which is currently not the case.

We need to investigate further to see what might be done to make this mechanism work.

But in the meantime, the work-around is not to use "reply" in your email client.

Instead, use the forum to send your reply to the member -- it's not so convenient, and, it won't track the conversation very well, but at least you can reply. You can exchange real email addresses and take the forum out of the loop with anyone with whom you converse regularly.
