3 of us who worked together at one time get together for lunch periodically.
E-mailing negotiates the when and where. Typically it takes a few rounds to get to the final decision. Almost always the first few rounds go smoothly.
Then in the later rounds, things seem to get hung up because someone does reply.
We finally traced the problem to the fact that one of the e-mails in the string sent from partyA (originator of the whole process) sent to party B (and C) changes the e-mail address of party B from a proper yahoo mail address to an outlook address. Thus party B doesn't respond because he never received that message (tho the earlier ones were received). All parties use "reply to all" so do not on their own modify the e-mail addresses.
This has happened multiple times and it always a reply from party A that contains the error and the error is always in party B's address. Party A claims that faulty address is no longer in his address book or whatever you call it.
Party A is on aol.com and the others are at Yahoo.
Any ideas?
