Stoopid email

FYI, and a request for assistance:
My .forward file for mail sent to my wso.williams.edu address suddenly got changed last to something almost like, but not exactly my current email address, which is myfirstname [at] de [dash] fac [dot] to (the ending got changed to .toc; I know not how; I didn't change it). Mail sent to the wso address is thus bouncing back to folks.

In the meantime, wso folks have re-set everyone's passwords and sent the new passwords to folks via e-mail, so I cannot log in and fix the .forward. The person listed on wso's contact page for password re-sets does not even have a valid wso address, and although I've sent email to his clio.williams.edu account, I haven't heard back yet on that.

Long story short:
1) Please be advised to use my de [dash] fac [dot] to address for emailses.
2) Does anyone (say in the more-recently-a-student category) have pull/contacts/whathaveyou with the current wso folks that might be able to do something?

Thanks!

I sent email to one of the WSO folks asking them to reset your password and send it to the de-fac.to address- it's a student generation later, so they won't recognize me as a WSO person and do it quickly, but at least the request has gotten to someone... I'll let you know if they email me.

Thanks, sweets! Maybe between the two of us, this'll get fixed.

You posted this long ago, so you've probably resolved it by now, but if not email me: nmoeur at syr dot edu and I'll give you the address of the guy who's helped me a couple of times. (For some reason, my new temp password never works the first time...they always have to reset it again.)

oh, and hi! (I'm the one with the long blond braid, if the last name doesn't ring a bell...)
