Chuck,
This problem list members are encountering mystifies me. Are you a digest
mode user or do you get a bunch of individual messages? This makes a big
difference in the Reply option(s)! Those of us that use the Digest mode get
all the messages combined in one message from the S-Scale Yahoo List. At the
bottom of each message is the following: Reply to sender | Reply to group |
Reply via web post Obviously, you click on your preference and you get a
screen just like you'd be sending to any of your friends or relatives.
However, before you click on your Reply preference, it is helpful to highlight
any part of the list message you want repeated and right click and hit copy.
Then, as I said, click on your Reply preference. Once you do that, a message
screen shows up, you put the cursor where you want the copied text to go, right
click, select Paste and that part will appear on your response screen. From
there on out, you just write and edit like you would on a word processor file
and input your comments. If you use the Digest mode, you probably already know
this!
If you get your messages Individually, then it's a different ball game.
You are then using your ISP's (whomever's) format for returning messages. You
would most likely have options to Reply: or Reply to All. The Reply will put
the individual's email address in the To: block. Reply to All will not, I
repeat, WILL NOT put the S-Scale List email address in the To: block because
you got the message from an individual....not the group list. Therefore, you
need to type in the To: block: [email protected] if you want all the
list members to see your comments. Also, fill in the subject block; then copy
and paste any comments you wish from the former sender's message, if you so
desire. What some do and should not is copy and paste pages and pages of
previous messages, when they need only copy the main thought of the previous
message(s).
Most yahoogroups find it convenient to periodically remind members of the
etiquette, etc. for the group. It might be equally helpful to remind those
over 50, in my case, close to 70, of efficient and effective ways to optimize
use of the various lists. (ie. a website with instructions) If there is such a
site, I'm unaware of it....it should be posted on the groups lists! If List
moderators have some kind of options for format, I'm not aware of this!
For anyone with better instructions, have at it.....but after many years of
following various lists, this is how it works best for me with little problems
in the Digest mode. For me, all Lists work basically the same. Someone
commented that they follow 30 groups. When do you sleep? :-)
