In the past I, too, have tried to reply to a person's question and received
the message "you must have permission (or some such phrase) to get in their in
box.  I 'applied' and go not response so did not actually 'answer the
question'.  I hope someone else was able to do so. I also get the 'symbols' in
place of punctuation marks in Lyn's emails.  I find it 'hard to read' and tend
to skip over them.I receive my emails thru Hotmail and Explorer and am using
Microsoft #7 on my computer.  That's about all in info I 'know' about my
experiences. Lorri FGraham, WA    -where we are having the second 'sunny day
in a row'  maybe spring will come.
