Re: How do you reply to a message?

[Guest guest]

That's all there is to it. While you mention it, , I'll put in a small ad on

a favorite point of mine.

A " thread " is a sort of conversation built up by someone replying to someone,

and then someone replies to THAT and so on. Makes for a sometimes long email

which has the advantage of containing all the relevant back and forth. The

downside is that occasionally these get very long (I haven't seen any of these

gigantic ones lately). That's not usually a problem, except it really is a pain

for those getting email digests (they have to scroll a long ways to see the next

msg).

IF you are replying to an email digest, or if the thread is very lengthy, or if

the oldest part of it doesn't even pertain to the subject anymore, then it's

" polite " to snip away the oldest or irrelevant stuff. Those here who are

challenged in any way, as to following this, can/should/will of course ignore

this point.

How do you " reply " to a message?

After hitting the " reply " button, do I just put my text at the top of

the message box; ie, over the text of the original message? Thanks,
