Hi again: Good points being made here. And, I don't know yet whether there's something in group settings that would accomplish Alex's idea. In the mean time, to reply to an individual, what works for me is to use cmd-y to add sender to address book, cmd-N for new message, and type the first couple letters of the sender's name.
Thanks for everyone's input. Carolyn On Mar 1, 2011, at 12:09 PM, carolyn Haas wrote: > Hi Alex: > I think that would be a great solution.
