email nbsp (O.T.)

[Guest guest]

I don't like the new and improved classic mail either. I can't even

trim half the posts. grrrrrrrrrrrrr it's very hard to use my email

box anymore.

path of hotmail and all the same " improvements " are now in the

e-mail system.  (If you are using for e-mail, when you get the

digest (like for the ), and if you

wish to reply to ONE of the messages in the digest.  You can't just

highlight the part you want to reply to, clip off the rest, and

hit " reply " .  You can reply, but you will have to re-type the address

and start from scratch in the " compose " page, instead--because

to " reply " from the digest means that you AUTOMATICALLY will have the

copy of the ENTIRE DIGEST on your reply message!

many of these groups (including this one) have a POLICY that the

message! " ?

wrote to to complain about this already, and, of course, they

didn't reply.  I expect that when/if they do get back with me, it

will be " at this time we cannot make it possible to omit the entire

message replied to in the " reply " e-mail...sorry about the

inconvenience...(blah--blah-blah!)... "

mail messages, I noticed also several instances of weird quirky

changes (not all of them long-lasting) in the appearance of my text

box (where the  typed outgoing message appears), and in the " text-

wrapping " , size of text changing without warning, and so on.  Right

after those things happened, I got notice of the " improvements " that,

like it or not, I was " given " by good ol'

besides the text-jamming ( " & nbsp. " ) and if anyone who uses for

e-mail is also disgusted with the way the improvements make sending

replies more difficult.  Thanks for any feedback!

they fix it soon, when we file recipes we have to correct them as

irritating. & nbsp;
