didn't get such an e-mail

Typical in mail-Art: there are unwritten rules, and when people start to write them down, we all see things differently. I also see a list of DO and DON'TS in the making. The fun in mail-at is sometimes also to break a few rules. Experimenting in communication is also discover new ways and visions.
When art becomes a routine matter is actually is craft.

I found it interesting that people would join a group that sends art through the postal services and not give there land mail address. If an e-mail address is given, I write for the address & usually hear back from the person. Surprises in the mail are what is so wonderful about IUOMA.

@Helen : The homeaddress is normally just posted, otherwise you can't reach someone. If they don't want an address to be published, I don't do so, but it means they don't get a surprise mail-art in their mail-box either.
No fixed rules there either.

@Dorothy : Yes, anyone with a creative attitude is allowed to enter the IUOMA.
@Helen : Is the Edit button is there, you can edit that wey. At the blog menu it is a special option in the menu to edit the blog (only for the author)
hope this helps you further.
