Jack, (List, some of you may be asking the same questions) Your question on replying to digest emails, the answer is simple click on your reply button, insure the mailing list address is in the "TO" line and the subject line has been changed to your subject. Then cut out all unneeded messages. make your comments and send. Or copy past the email address (addy) to a new email; copy paste the required data from the digest, Use an effective subject line, Make your comments and send. All, emails sent to the list are consolidated in the digest, but they are also sent separately to those signed up for normal messages. You will get a copy of your own message, either in the digest if that is what you signed up for or in normal emails if that was your choice. Nelda Nelda L.

I recently posed a question to the list about the Convention Army Barracks at Charlottesville and received a reply, but haven't been able to figure out how to reply on the list to the person who answered my question. If there is currently no means to do that (reply to a message via the list), could that be included in the future? (such as a link "reply to this message") ##################
