Expand email address limits

[RAN_MPA]

I have selected the option (below) "Notify by email when replies are posted" when I have posted a message, but I have not been getting notified. I suspect it's because the County's email system (GroupWise) uses such long naming conventions and does not allow for me to use an alias.

If you could expand the address limits to accomodate my (only) way to retrieve email at my desktop, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks, again for hosting this site, and in particular, this message board area. It's been a real help to me.

My email is as follows:
Richard.Nagelschmidt@mail.co.ventura.ca.us
and is being truncated after the "r" in Ventura.

I don't think there's a way to make it accept more than what you've got in there.

Some alternatives:

1.) Sign up for a Hotmail account
2.) Sign up for a Bigfoot address.

I think the Bigfoot address might work a little better. It's a forwarding service. You just enter the email address you want it to forward mail to (in this case, Richard.Nagelschmidt@mail.co.ventura.ca.us ).

Then you can just post that address on the board.

Hope this helps,

I'll try the forwarding service offered by Bigfoot and see if I can get it into the County's system.

Thanks.
