You should be able to go back to the trade screen and add one of those people from the email to the trade. The "make it work now" system should have nothing to do wit it. "Make it work now" should be there only to avoid going through the longer process of submitting the trade for approval and waiting for a response. Like if you are trying to trade away a protected player on the Rule 5 Draft day in order to make room for another player, "make it work now" is perfect because you don't have the luxury of waiting a few days to complete the trade. Same idea when trying to complete trades on the day of the trade deadline. However, during the offseason or any other period where time is not of the essence, one should be able to use the email reply as the basis for reconstructing and completing the trade. The fact that we still have to use the "make it work now" and can't just add the player the other owner said they would accept is a bug.
Ah, now I follow you.
But no, I wasn't conflating two different systems. I was merely describing the approach that works for me. I never suggested that one use the make it work button in conjunction with a more prolonged negotiation process over days involving email responses. I was merely suggesting to the OP that if he is having no luck with this approach, the make this work now approach might be a better (or, at least, more effective) one for him to use.
Now, as to whether the other process works as intended or not, it was never my intention to take any stance on that. Nor did I.
