Posting Reminder #2 - trimming posts

[Guest guest]

Dear list memebrs,

Please trim your replies as much as possible. To do this: after

hitting reply you can highlight and delete any info that is not

pertinent to your post. This will save space in the archives and

makes it easier for those with older systems or on digest.

Thanks,

Sheila,

I used to do this, snipping out parts that weren't pertinent. But about a month

ago, suddenly I was unable to do this, on both yahoo lists that I am on. It

became all-or-nothing; all of the email to which I am replying (like yours) or

no email at all. I can't highlight just certain parts of a post. I assumed

something changed for everyone, was I wrong? Are others still able to snip

sections of posts to the list?

I've had some trouble with this with my email service provider also.

To get around it I just answer emails at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/messages

Then I can snip what I like.

Lorilyn.....

When Yahoo started with their new format a little while back, I found it

difficult at first. When replying, I was used to being able to easily trim away

excess text... but it wasn't letting me. I found out that I had to click

somewhere down within the original message.... then click again. At that first

click, you see little boxes appear at the edges and corners of the e-mail text,

then after the SECOND click, a grey border appears..... at which point, you can

highlight, delete, clip, cut and paste to your heart's content. I'm still very

frustrated with the new Yahoo format, but it is do-able. Now, that may not work

for you..... but give it a try.

On the first click, I get the little boxes at the corners and a dotted line

around everything else. At the second click, I get a little window letting me

do a few things like delete, copy, paste, insert hyperlink... but if I choose

one, like delete, it deletes the whole email and won't let me highlight just

part of it. Fortunately, there is an undo button too! Thanks for trying,

though.
