Introducing new email address, <ChemIT@cornell.edu>

NOTE: <crcf@cornell.edu> will still continue to work.

Reasons for the change:

•  
• ChemIT will be receiving email requests through a ticket management system (Remedy)

Expected to start working early July 2013.

Features of the new email address:

• Automatic acknowledgement of receipt by Cornell's Remedy ticket management system.
