Hi folks,
This really does need repeating regularly.................. PLEASE STOP
REPLYING WITH *MULTIPLE* WHOLE MESSAGES TO THE LIST!!
It really is simple to do the right thing:
Here it is for all the sane people using EudoraPro: the safest, easiest
emailer out there and free! :-)
BELOW is the way for Outlook Express using danger-loving-thrill-seekers:
If you want to reply to the list in a good emailer, just:
1. Highlight the minimum amount of text relative to your reply in the
message as you read it.
2. Hit reply button. Your message will then only contain the specified
detail and not drive everyone nutz with untold multiple copies of the
material.
( Highlight : is to hold down the left mouse button as you run the cursor
along the ONE or TWO lines necessary to include as a reference in your reply)
let go at the end and hit REPLY either on top of your screen, or by RIGHT
clicking on your mouse and selecting REPLY there.
Like magic, only the necessary is included in your reply and billions of
little electrons won't be wasted and a lot of tired eyes will be grateful.
USING OUTLOOK EXPRESS
What you have to do in Outlook Express is go to TOOLS/OPTIONS/SEND:
UNCHECK include messages in reply.
Remember to hit "APPLY" button - v6 often loses its marbles with setup changes.
BTW: I would - if I was going to use this dangerously open door to my
system - I would also :
uncheck automatically download messages.......etc
Check read all messages in plain text. ( This alone saves people a lot
of annoyance with HTML ads!)
FROM THEN ON when you want to reply to a message, you highlight the minimal
text necessary -
RIGHT Click , select copy
Hit REPLY button
Right click - "paste".
Not as good as all the other better programs - but still not too difficult,
is it?
Cheers
