RE: OTH : MAILING TIPS


Re:  putting the answer first:  some of us have, um, unusual e-mail systems 
which make it outrageously hard to do a lot of editing without spending a lot 
of time.  MSN's most irritating problem is this funky mail system which 
demands I change screens to edit out parts of messages, and then I can't 
respond directly to the question, so if I wasn't paying attention to the 
sender's address, I have another problem.   It's sooooooooo much easier to 
just hit the return button and zap the whole thing back.  Maybe Gunnar has the 
same problem?

Barb in Santa Fe, and no, I don't want to change from msn just yet, but maybe 
someday...IrisMaven@msn.com

I concur with Rick, but I do prefer some editing be done to the preceding
question to decrease repetition while establishing context.
