Ok, this is strange. as previously posted I was unable to reply to any group message. When I use control r for the reply I hear the tone that identifies an edit field. Then I hear the tone turning it off with a warning message about the contact name. At this point I am unable to enter a reply message. I can not turn the edit area back on to accept text. Now if I back tab into the subject and tab back to the message area it is now open for typing text. I still think that windows live mail should have an alias name of Hoover, it really sucks! --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.
