Forum problems with e-mail

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem.

When I reply to one of the posts in the coordinator forum that gets sent to my e-mail inbox, my mail server connects to the mail server that handles the coordinator hub list, delivers the reply message, but it then seems to disappear into cyberspace. It never shows up in the forum. In order for me to have a reply seen, I have to log-in the this system, create a new forum topic, cut-n-paste from my e-mail sent mail folder, and submit it on-line.

In playing around with this system, I also now see why replies tend to have the entire damn thread included with them when they show up by e-mail. It's not that people are intentionally ignoring netiquette. When replying on-line, there's no way to delete it all, or to reply to just a small section of someone's message. This is why the threads are so frustrating to read on-line -- they're about 20 times longer than they need to be.

We're aware and working on it.

Hi Dave,

You are not the only one experiencing the issue of not being able to reply to the mailing list via email. What we've found, however, is that most of the time the issue has to do with people trying to send an email through an email account that is not the one through which they are subscribed to the group. Can you, Larry (and anyone else having this issue), please double check? You can check and change your subscription here.

If this does not explain the problem, please let us know. We're working right now on a number of issues related to the mailing lists, once of which is the very annoying issue of the entire discussion thread being included in each reply.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi,

Judging from the flurry of my emails that just came through as I was trying to catch up, I'm not having a problem with this listserve.

But this one didn't get out smoothly.

Response Problem

I am having the same problem. I can't respond from e-mail. I have to log into the site.
