Hartmut, It shows up on the Yahoo Groups Ercoupe Tech web page (actually on all the pages Ed moderates) in the To: block when you go to Post Message. The default is now [email protected]. The next selection is the e-mail address of the individual to whom you are replying, and the third is [email protected], which goes to Ed. I'm using IE 8.0 to view the message board.
