Hi: I'm not sure how your WebMail client works in detail, but for almost all e-mail here are the basic steps. *ALL* e-mail clients worth using, including all the ones used by any significant number of people, allow you to edit both the text of your reply and the Subject. 1. With the message to which you wish to respond open, click your e-mail client's version of a "Reply" button. 2. Delete those parts of the *new* message, the reply you are now writing, that do not apply to what you are about to say. -- Delete the "robot added" material at the top and/or bottom (otherwise it will be duplicated, sometimes over and over). -- If you are replying to a Digest, delete all the messages that you are not responding to. You should also delete superfluous material even from the message to which you are responding (typically, the parts that are not necessary for your readers to understand your reply). 3. Change your Subject line to reflect what you are responding to. Never send a message with a Subject like "Re: [VERMONT] VERMONT Digest, Vol 4, Issue 12". Many, if not most, subscribers (usually including me) just delete such messages unread. 4. Add your comments. I put mine below the quoted original. Some people do it the other way around and put their comments at the top. Darrell
