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.
