Ah, shucks. Hitting <Reply to All> doesn't fill in the e-mail address of the original message's sender, at least not in my e-mail program. It only puts in the forum address. So, if you want to reply to the individual, you'll have to work a bit harder. In my e-mail program, I can double click on the name in the field "On Behalf Of" and it'll bring up a window showing me that person's e-mail address. Then, I can cut and paste it into the address line of my response. Sorry it's not more convenient. Still, please don't send personal and inconsequential messages to all 700+ forum members. Let me know what you think of the change after you get used to it. Thanks, Ed _____
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed Burkhead Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 9:52 AM To: ety Subject: [ercoupe-tech] mechanism for <Reply> to The vote in the poll is not huge in numbers but it is 2/3rds for having <Reply> send messages to the forum and only 1/3rd for having replies sent to the individual. Therefore, I've changed the default setting on both forums. Let's see how it works. Please remember it's polite to send "me too" messages (with no significant content) and personal messages directly - and only - to the individual to whom you are replying. This should still be easy: Just hit <Reply All> and then delete the forum from the list of addressees. Best wishes to you all, Ed
