Huh.
I see my copy of that email got caught by the spam filter. Now I will know for next time. Thank you!

I'm curious about how you got this version of the report - all I could find from the Navica app or the eMed site was a .png version of the pass and the details. (It was a pain getting it printed in Croatia for my flight home, and a good thing I did so because the BA outstation folks at the airport weren't interested in anything I had to show on my phone - but maybe something that looked that official might have worked?) Thanks.
The email is sent automatically with a PDF attachment. The only catch is that it is password protected, so I saved a screenshot of the letter in order not to have to enter the pw over and over again (+ printed it out). The email can get caught up in spam, but is easy to locate as it typically arrives within a minute of hanging up with the proctor. I used this emailed version with Lufthansa without any problems.

My unvaccinated 9-year-old used this test in June to transit through Frankfurt without any problems. United and Lufthansa were the airlines. We will use it also for the return.

Glad you found it! It’s good to have the PDF version as well.

Any issue using BinaxNow with LH for transit via MUC back to IAD? Or do I need to hunt down an EU approved test?

Should be no problem, there's no testing requirement for entering Germany if you're vaccinated so only compliance with US testing requirements will be checked.
