Hitchhiker,
You are partly right,,
According to my knowledge "Rachel and me" follows grammer based on the changes made due to usage of the language.
But the Teachers of the past would recommend "Rachel and I".
However based on the changes in the usage of the language, both are correct.
But yes grammar and usage are not always same

You could also say instead of "say hello to john from Rachel and me" would be to say hello to john from Rachel and myself or maybe - myself and Rachel
See if this goes over well or if it works!

:) Thanks for your help, I used to say "from Jonh and me" but after reading the question about what was better if I or me, I had serious doubts. Now you gave me the key to be sure about it. Thanks a lot.

Kitkattail, I wonder by your explanetion about the confusion sentences: "from Rachel & I " & "from Rachel & me." Really you have explained it well & I've nothing to add.

You are wrong on that. When using the verb "to be" you always use the subject form. However wrong that sounds, you would never say "It is me." It is I.

Also, you would NEVER say "from John and I." That not only sounds wrong, but in fact it is wrong. Think about it this way. Would you ever say "from I"?
John got that sandwich from I. -Obviously wrong
John got that sandwich from me. -Obviously correct unless you want to sound uneducated.
Looking at the above, now back to the plurals...
John got that sandwich from Suzie and I.
John got that sandwich from Suzie and me.
Please tell me that you chose the second.
