Layne;

That is a good reminder, I use Yahoo and the new format for them which I absolutely hate makes some of the convoluted messages completely impossible to follow even if they are  just message reply and reply again things get stacked in such a way I can't tell what is answering what. 

I recently had a discussion with a cousin south of the border on some of the kin down that way and even though I stuck to sending her a new message almost every time I emailed back to her when I went to archive our chat I couldn't tell half the time what was what unless I pulled it up in a fashion I could read the date and time.

I get so tired of "new and improved" internet products that categorically make the product less user friendly and fix something that wasn't broke in the first place.

So for those who have the same frustrating email problems I have, you need to click on the Or-roots part of the header and "copy email address" should come up, then you can start a new message. If you feel the need to include some of the original message I use notepad to paste what I want to include in since Yahoo won't allow me to be in two places at once, then I can copy the address, start the new message and copy what I want to answer to out of notepad. 

I know some folks "Can't be bothered" to take that much time and trouble, but if your reply is more coherent, it is more likely to get the attention it deserves.
