Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: ACE Converter anomaly, REDWOOD

Hi Milton,

If the originators email address doesn't show up in your email program (it
doesn't on Outlook Express for me), just hit the 'reply' button and it
should then insert the original message in the window (assuming you have
that option set in your program). At the top of this message will be the
originators email address so just highlight and copy it and then paste it
over the CAD_CAM.... bit in the 'to' box.

Alternatively, hit reply, then click on the originators email address in the
message which will be displayed and this will oper another new mail window
to the originator. Use this one and just close the first window you opened
so you don't send any spurious messages to this list.

Jeez, that sounds a lot more complicated than it is but its too late here to
think about it any more...
