Cruezn - e-mail reply

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Cruezn: Your e-mail went to my SPAM box and I just now saw it. When I tried to reply I got a failure notice. My e-mail is at the bottom. Just e-mail me directly.

For anyone else: I have gotten e-mails three or four times from Eggheads sending it through the forum. It implies that all I have to do is hit reply. However, every time I do reply I get an error message. I don't know of any other way to do it as it does not give me any other e-mail address.

Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

    No solutions here. I've been wondering the same thing. Copying and pasting the address from the original message never works for me. For example, the email I got from Village Idiot last week said that the sender's email address was Village@yahoo.com. That was incorrect.

    I just go back into the forum member list, and email the person through the forum. Inconvenient.

    I never see a real e-mail address. What always shows up to me is (in this example) cruezn@eggheadforum.com When I hit reply that is what I get. But as mentioned it does not work.

    Ben: Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't sure how to find the member list (but just now did) and sent an e-mail. Hopefully, it works.

    Interesting that you actually saw a yahoo address even if it didn't work. I have yet to see anyone's e-mail address. It is always simply their username @ eggheadforum.com

    Ah, right you are. I use Yahoo, and there is an option called "View Full Header." Buried within the gobbledegook is the correct email address.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Tweeve and Ben! Using "view full header" appears to have unlocked the e-mail address. I will give that a try. I am very "technology challenged"!

    If when you hit reply and the address bar contains something relating to....
    WessB@eggheadforum.com

    You just need to edit out all the stuff around WessB@yahoo.com including removing both of the < >

    I haven't had any problems doing it this way..at least that I know of....and it's much easier than what you described for sure...hope this makes some sense..

    Wess the problem was that it didn't show a valid email address. The email address shown bounced, even though the < and > were deleted. The true email address that was found using the "view full header" view didn't show up anywhere in the original email, or when "reply" was used. Maybe this problem is unique to Yahoo's mail service. I've gotten emails from people who use hotmail and gmail, which included the original email I sent to them using the forum, and I can see that hotmail and gmail showed my correct email address. Yahoo, however, doesn't.

    I have no personal experience with yahoo....sorry...it took me a while to figure out I had to what I said, with gmail...could also be that the user sending it may have an incorrect e mail listed in their profile..

    Except then my forum email wouldn't have gotten to them in the first place. I think, rather, that it's a yahoo thing. That skihorn was able to use "view full header" implies he's probably using yahoo too. I'd bet that every forum member who uses yahoo experiences this problem. I'm glad that there is a way around it, though. It was getting pretty aggravating, having to come back into the forum to reply to emails.

    Thanks for the help guys (and sorry about the extra "e")

    Yes, I have Yahoo and I have had this problem with every Egghead who has e-mailed me through the forum (about three or four times). You are correct that it didn't show anything except cruezn@eggheadforum.com Fortunately, the "view full header" did show me the way.

    Thanks again!
