Hi All, to clarify a bit: Using IE of course results in launching Outlook Express which is the Mail Program used with IE by Worldnet and other ISP's.....then follow instructions. Also, in my example I was pointing out that with the default changes I described you will no longer have such messages as those I described just below the instructions for changing the defaults. As long as I'm in this deep, I might also mention that many subscribers after reading their mail, have information to share......so they click on "Reply" or "Reply To All" and instead of sending the info to the person that asked for it, they of course sent the data, along with the original message asking for the data, to ALL of us. We all should look up at the address line to see where our message is going before we click the "Send" button.........If you want it to go to "Susie Q" and the address reads "Casey-L@Rootsweb" or other similar address, please address the message to "Susie Q". Don't know Susie Q's address......."Piece of Cake"...while you are changing your defaults per the first message, click on the "General" Tab and find the 4th block down, which reads "Automatically put people I reply to in my Address Book"......click that block to insert a check/X.........and people you write to regularly will have their address in your Address Book........ Enough of Computers 101........... Hope this helps each of us! Hal, from sunny California
