RE: [dita] Fw: Proposal for a "DITA for machine industry" subcommittee

["Mary McRae" <marypmcrae@gmail.com>]

I think Chris' note probably bounced because he sent it from a different email
than the one registered in Kavi (dita@seicodyne.ch). It's possible to set up an
alternate email address by going to the "My Account" page. Chris, let me know if
you help doing this!

Regards,

Mary
