Worked for me?? I might not have included the original text...I do it manually now because so many lists don't want you to include the original text in replies...of course that usually doesn't help me, since I forget what I said between emails....:) Linda, do you have the Rev Service record for that John Coats w Mary? or where did you get the info about him being a blacksmith?

Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 19:50:03 -0400 I'm just testing something. I've noticed for a while that when Charlotte replys to someone's letter in our Coates list, their letter isn't included. I'm trying to see if highlighting the letter first forwards it to the list so everyone can read it. If there are about six lines of text below, then highlighting the text first solves the problem.
