Nolan, I am sorry I didn't reply to the rest of your email, I was so concentrating on the part about the trash.
I don't use AOL, so I can't respond to it directly, but with Apple's Mail, you simply hit the reply icon while in the article you wish to address, it will open with the old message, the address filled in, ready for you to type and hit send. I would think you could reply in a similar manner with AOL??? Also this post was clean as a whistle, not flaw. John R.
