membership

[Boudewijn]

Hi Ann,

Could it be that you receive your emails on another address than the address you use for 
sending emails? 

The background: 
* there is (as Philip told) no 'digikam membership', but there is 'mailing list membership' : 
anyone who has registered to receive email from this list. 
* imagine you got an a.fuller at gmail-account that you used to register at the digikam-
mailinglist, and then let Gmail forward the email to your afuller at wefu-account.
* in that case, when you send a reply, the mailing list can not recognize your (@wefu) 
account, as it was never registered. 
* the reason for that is that it helps to keep (some) spammers of the list, as they have to 
register their email address before their emails are accepted

I imagine something like that is the case with your 'list membership address' and your 
'regular email address'.

To find out which email address is receiving your list-emails, you can have a look at the 
message details (also called 'headers' or 'view source', depending on the software you use 
for reading your email).

Good luck and don't become discouraged: the list is for discussions and for getting help, not 
just when you have expertise in development or professional photography! 

Best regards,

Boudewijn

PS: I sent directly to your wefu-address, so that a reply should at least reach me even if it 
does not show up on the mailinglist so quickly.
