"Replying to an Email"
Posted by Wheezy on 01-14-03 at 06:05 PM

Um, hi. When another poster emails me, I must scroll down to the bottom of their message to click on the link in order to reply to them. That is perfect and I think I understand it.

My question is, where does the message go if I hit 'reply' in my email program instead of clicking on the link? I have never done this on purpose, but occasionally in a moment of excitement over getting an email I have done it incorrectly. When I look at my 'sent emails' it appears to go to Survivorblows@survivorblows.com. That must really suck if SB is getting not only my occasional stray email, but hundreds of others from other posters I have spoken with who didn't realize you couldn't hit the 'reply' button *coughcoughNookiecoughcough* (waves at buddy nookie). I guess I'm not asking for a change in this, because it works great, but I'm wondering if it just goes into a black hole or what?

Thank you! Maybe we should post a thread on OT just reminding people the way this works...and very sorry for the extra crap email in your box due to me.

Yup, they go to Webby if folks just hit reply. I imagine he's got some sort of filter set on his email so that he doesn't get inundated, but I wouldn't swear to it.

There's a filter, they basically go to a dead letter/spam area and get deleted every now and then. I think it actually happens pretty rarely. The problem is it has to be set to the message board admin's email address, otherwise it causes some other problems.

Hi SB Just out of curiousity, I was wondering what happens to all of the files that get uploaded (many for one time use) Is there any place one of us can go to see whats there, or do they automatically delete if they arent being used?

They are there forever, I don't delete them. They all end up in the one same huge directory. Currently IceCat leads the boards with 2,103 uploads. Bungler is next with 2,048. They dropoff is pretty big from there.

I can just see it now, a DAW postings tally and a DAW uploads tally.
