Yep, found that out, accidentally stopped to early started again and
kept hearing stuff so kept gong until it stopped. Backspaced and it
was gone. Much faster than holding down the backspace and listening
to all that noise of old headers going backward.

I should clarify that when I use shift up arrow, I up arrow till
I've selected all the text before the actual text begins. shift-
home accomplishes the same thing.

So are you then eliminating everything before the cursor? Then you
are taking the cursor to where you actually want the message being
sent to start and getting rid of everything before. I like your
faster method of clearing it out deffinitely. Would save quite a
bit of time, especiall when sending a message which had been
forwarded to you, with the usual line after line after line of
header information of a ton of people that you and I both don't
know but is there because so many people just can't et the idea of
using the "bcc" field.
I figure for many people who I send forwarded stuff to, being
visually impaired and using screen readers, getting rid of all of
that dead header information would realy simplify reading, and make
it easier thus hopefully more enjoyable.
Will give this method a try as well. Sounds great to me.

do the forward or reply, take cursor to where you want the text to
began, perhaps the repeated subject line within the text box.
There are usually some blank lines between that and previous.
line up between what you want and don't want and proceed to back
space like alll get out. You can hold it down eventually it will
stop when you get back to the first of the text box. It's then
gone. There may be a faster way, but that's how I'm doing it then
I'm not forwarding a bunch of previous header information.
For example, if I forwareded this message, I would take out the
header infrormation pertaining to you and your adress out of the
text box. It wasn't very long ago that this particular topic was
discussed on the list. That's what got me to try it.

Yep. Some lists have it required for a name and or adress in the
"to" field or they will reject it. Fortunately I don't often
copy stuff to various lists, but individuals is a different
matter, and so far haven't had a problem just leaving the "to"
field alone and going straight to the "bcc" field. But it was
one of the only times I sent to multipal lists and individuals as
well that got me curious about doing it that way.
Have also followed the advice on a previous mail in this list of
how to dleet previous header information in mail forwards. makes
things a lot cleaner for recipients.

to get around that, you could put your name in the to field. Be
careful what you put there for instance, if you write "all" lots
of spam filters now throw that out.

Also if someone replys back to you you will probably see in
their previous message that you sent "Undisclosed." Can't
remember what it says in your "sent mail" box though.
Kind of neat isn't it? Unless the person you send to has
something to block "undisclosed" or "no sender" or "no adress."
Then it would be a problem.

OOO, this is scary, when you leave the too field blank, the
header shows no to address when you get the message back.

Yep, and doing the keyboard command for BCC field just gets a
VO anouncement saying "BCC." Too bad.
Back to tabbing, which did work though. At least Apple's mail
program will let me use bcc, and bcc without even filling
anything in the "to" field. That's handy. Juno back when I
used that in Windows didn't have even a bcc field, yuck!.

Two things,
Ah, I see, start a compose and on the bar, tab to address
button and press space. I don't use this because there's no
way to select bccc. You can select to and cc but not bcc. I
can select bcc from the header fields in the message. Easier
to select the field I want to use with tab and start typing,
down arrow if necessary and move on.

It varies slightly. In doing this reply, arrowing with VO
keys it was one up arrow click above "fonts." I before doing
the reply to this mess did a "new message," and it was one
arrow click down from my signature. I do not find it in the
mennues except as Adress pannel, under "window" but it's
basically the same thing. But if you are just in your outbox
it is a general function which should show up as you cursor
through the list of functions. Arrowing up from the HTML text
field.

Nah, the process you follow is the same one I use. Find the
address button, click it, sort through the table 'til I find
the address I want, go click the to button, close the window,
and poof, it's in my to: field. Of course, if you're better
at remembering than i am, you can simply begin typing the
address in the to field, and it'll find it for you, then you
just leave it there, and go on about sending your email.
Hope this helps.
I'm sure others will chime in with easer methods of doing
things.

Hi, I want to create a new mail box, but every time I select
the menu it opens up the options for smart mail boxes
instead. I do see that is a menu option just under the
regular mail box one, but I am not ready for smart mail
boxes yet, I just want a place to dump read messages if I
want to give them more attention later.
Also I hate to add another question to this one, but it
seems quite necessary as I am running into trouble with the
popup menus when I type in the discuss address. I only see
one option to select as an address so am wondering why this
menu is poping up or why I cant seem to find a second
address. I check the one I want then have to press command w
and close the window. seems rather pointless and makes me
worry my messages aren't getting through.
Sorry to ramble. Think I better head to bed.
Thanks and night all,
Jess
