It also helps, even if you don't want to remove the message, to delete the tag lines and advertisements that appear at the bottom of the messages. Of course, you have to hit "reply" before you can delete or edit the message. I try to remember to ask myself what I need to leave of the original message so that my reply will make sense to someone who reads it a few days later. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Connors" <nymets22@gmail.com> to snip/cut those you don't want, just use your mouse to highlight (press down > on the left button of mouse and glide it overwhat you want to cut), and when > the area is highlighted use the the delete button. Bingo! gone are the > words you don't want.
