Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Carol, when you hit reply and before you type your msg just highlight and delete what you don't want listed any more. I want to have the previous msg on there so people will know what you anwer. I have seen many msgs that have been answered but I have no idea what has been said before and so I delete the whole answer because it makes no sense to me.

It just heads up all that was previously posted. So ??????????? what to do? carol_DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I just thought I don't get it because of age or brain fog. But I am also in a quandry as to how to cut off mesages and yet keep the message I am replying to so that I don't forget something. I know some three year olds that know more about computers than I do.  Go figure! Dolores From: Bob & Carol Zarn <bczarn@...> Subject: rheumatic Re: trimming messages was Re: Elimination diet success? rheumatic Date: Saturday, March 12, 2011, 3:16 PM  Hi, I read the digest version and when I hit " reply to group " my create email message comes up so that I can reply and it is totally blank so that there is nothing of the former message to delete so I would think that only my message would show up but that is not the case.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Perhaps if you hit the 'reply to all' option off the menu vice the 'reply to group' at the bottom it will work?

Eva, When I click on " Reply to group " the problem is that there is nothing to delete. The entire area is blank just as if I was creating a brand new email. carol_DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks will try it. I get the repetetive messages that take all day. I will try that. Dolores From: Sauve <moniquesauve@...> Subject: rheumatic Re: trimming messages was Re: Elimination diet success? rheumatic Date: Sunday, March 13, 2011, 3:43 PM  Dolores - The digest version is when all the e-mails of the day from this group come to you in one e-mail rather than getting each individual e-mail. You can go onto the group site for this group and choose individual e-mails or digest version from a drop down menu. Carol - When you reply on digest and you want to have the part of the e-mail you are replying to in your message copy that part of the message and then paste it into the new e-mail. Lmk if you need further clarification. Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I always hit the reply to all button. Is that a good thing or should I stop and only hit the reply. dolores From: ehgooding <ehgooding@...> Subject: RE: rheumatic Re: trimming messages was Re: Elimination diet success? rheumatic Date: Sunday, March 13, 2011, 3:10 PM  Perhaps if you hit the 'reply to all' option off the menu vice the 'reply to group' at the bottom it will work?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Dolores, Hit " reply to all " , or " reply to group " , if you want your message to go to all the 2250 members of this list. If your message is just pertinent to the writer of the message you are replying to hit " reply " only Take care, Ute On 3/13/2011 1:13 PM, mike rosner wrote: > > I always hit the reply to all button.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I just tried it, Thank you Ute. The older we get the more difficullt dealing with electronic gizmos it becomes. so, I appreciate your input. no one had ever explained that to me before. Now no one but you will get this answer. Great. The threads were getting so long and so repetetive, it was difficult to keep up. Thanks, Dolores > > I always hit the reply to all button.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Dolores, this one goes to the entire group. " Reply " may go to entire group because the list is set up that way. But if you scroll down, all the way to the bottom of the e-mail you want to respond to, there is a place to click on " reply to sender " or reply to group " That should work Take care, Ute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
