*** Hi :

When you are asked to trim your messages, you are being asked to delete the

unnecessary

part of the previous message that you are replying to. When you hit " reply " ALL

of the text of

the previous message is included unless you delete it. Unless you " trim " , your

reply will

include both your reply and all of the text of the previous message.

If you trim the message, you are making the length of your response shorter by

getting rid

of the parts of the previous message you don't need for your response to be

clear. This

saves space and helps everyone read all the messages more easily.

Do you know how to highlight portions of messages and delete them?

==> Ah... OK. It's that simle. I thought at first that it meant that my

question had already been asked but then I didn't understand why it

was " my " messages and not trim others' messages. Now it's clear...

thank you.

, you highlight text by clicking your mouse at the beginning of

the text you want to highlight, and then hold down the mouse button and

slide the mouse down. You'll see the text turn blue when it is

highlighted. Then you can hit your delete key to remove the

highlighted text.

Aaah, that's what you mean by highlighting! Sorry, there was a

misunderstanding.. I do it all the time lol. I thought you meant

putting some part of the text in yellow so that it sticks out...

Thank you for the explanation anyway,
