The bike was cheap, restoring it wasn't. I think Duane said he was alone. But it's worth a call. My license has expired because I need an eye test. All I have for bike registrations are online receipts. But thank goodness the bikes are all registered as antiques so they don't have to be inspected. ________________________________ From: MEairheads on behalf of Nik Rende via MEairheads Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2020 1:22 PM To: meairheads at casano.com Cc: Nik Rende Subject: Re: [MEairheads] Barrington's Tumbler..

The "From" field will show the original "From" value of the person who sent the message. (Formerly it would say "real-name via MEAirheads".) Their will no longer be a message footer added that has instructions for unsubscribing. However, this information is in the message headers, and your email client (Outlook, etc) should have a button that says "unsubscribe from this mailing list" somewhere. To reply to the entire mailing list, use "Reply-All" in your mail client. The default "Reply" behaviour will be to reply to only the message poster.
