Hi all,

Oh, for the love of St. Crispin! Just hit ctrl-shift-r to reply to all and then delete the list name which should come in the CC field. To delete the listname just select the whole field with ctrl-a and hit the delete key.

Or, you could look under the message menu, it's a-sittin there just a smilin' at ya! This is also always the best way to find out commands in a program. Go to the menu bar. It will tell you what the commands are and their hotkey or shortcut key equivalents. Dunnow what "jaws" command this was, but it probably isn't a Jaws command really. One of the idiocies rampant among trainers who train exclusively in Jaws is that they tell their students that commands that are actually Window or application specific are Jaws. This is misleading and can actually prevent a student from operating a computer with confidence no matter what screen reader is being used. A well-trained computer user who is blind should be able to sit down at *any* computer running *any* screen reader and operate that computer with confidence. Most things can be done with Windows or application specific commands. If a user needs a screen reader command, just being told how to find the help function should suffice for most commands that are needed.
