Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Add your URL and email / Outlook workaround

[Mabel Liang (mabel]

With the version of Eudora that I'm using (Help says 1.5.4 (16)), doing a
reply that quotes the message only gives the sender's name, not the sender's
e-mail address.  See the example below for how Fred's message was treated.
So I'm another vote for including your e-mail address.

Thanks!
