Hi Daniel,

I've just given a talk about this issue, and while reviewing our
correspondence while preparing the talk, I've realised that in your
initial mail you gave us the solution that we finally implemented and are
in the process of normalising.

You are currently acknowledged in the draft¹, but only as the person who
noticed the issue.  My apologies for the oversight.  Please be assured
that I'll change this before publication so as to properly credit you as
suggesting the solution.

Sorry for the oversight,

-- Juliusz
