Hey Dave: I think that the problem lies within the Yahoo area. If you are not logged in to Yahoo, you may only see the following:Yahoo! Groups Links
you what/how the system works. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 5/28/2010 3:16:14 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Dave. I am using my email client that collaborates all of my e-mail accounts. I can't afford missing E-mails, so this is the solution. My Email client does not display the email address of the sender in full length. It just shows Dave in your case. When I copy and paste Dave the email address is not valid and e-mail is not sent. I can hack myself the email address out of the message, but that is a multiple step procedure that takes longer than writing a message. In essence , I am answering less often, since it is a hassle now for me. I think that questions should go to everyone on the Forum, but answers may or may not. There are many questions that I see taken care of by others, especially when they are common requests, then I am not interested to read through the long tail, that is repeating itself every few month. However. I am not here to lecture someone, nor to press him/her into my mold. I am just pointing out that the e-mail list now becomes less convenient for me and I am having to climb through rings of fire to just give someone a personal lengthily message.

The default is now _ercoupe-t...@ercoupe-techerc_ (mailto:[email protected]) . The next selection is the e-mail address of the individual to whom you are replying, and the third is _ercoupe-tech-ercoupe-tech-<WBercou_ (mailto:[email protected]) , which goes to Ed. I'm using IE 8.0 to view the message board. Hope that helps.

It's just a matter of what the default is in the TO: pull-down menu. Either way, misfires are bound to occur until everyone gets used to it. We all just have to pay attention to what we have selected in the pull-down. Personally, I would like to add a fourth option that would allow me to reply to the message board and e-mail the individual, but that would probably only confuse the issue even more. > > Best, > Dave > > --- In _ercoupe-t...@ercoupe-techerc_ (mailto:[email protected]) , Hartmut Beil <hbeil@> wrote: > > > > > > Lee, all > > > > > > > > Knowing that any reply will send a message to the group as a whole reduces my willingness to answer . > > > > I am differentiating between a personal advice and information for general use.

With the change, the only way to respond to only the sender is to copy his email address then initiate a new email, paste the senders email, enter a subject, then type your email. THe old system allowed one to click reply, select to send to the sender or everyone then type the message. > > > > Lee Browning > > > > > > > > ____________ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ > > Penny Stock Soaring 3000% > > Sign up for Free to find out what the next 3000% Stock Winner Is! > > PennyStocksUniverse > > > > > > > > > > ____________ ____________ ________ ________ ________ ________ > > Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection. > > _https://signup.https://shttps://signhttps://_ (https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969) > > > > > > > > ____________ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ > Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. > _https://signup.https://shttps://signhttps://_ (https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969) > ____________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
