Getting in touch via email: Use the Procedure below. Don't make up other addressees (e.g., 'sales') as the spam filters will eat your email. Also, check that you have supplied a return address that can accept emails from unknown senders. Note: if you use Gmail, replies from many of the Officers will probably land in your spam folder!

Ask-a-question: Increasingly, the 'ask-a-question' form produces a can't-find-it error. Please follow the procedure below!

The Procedure: Start and compose your email in whatever way you usually do, then fill in the TO field with the officer you want to receive it, followed by @austrianphilately.com - for example, an auction bid goes to auctioneer@austrianphilately.com, and a complaint about this website to webmaster@austrianphilately.com. Your choice is: editor, treasurer, secretary, membership, webmaster, publicity, auctioneer.
