Hi Steve, Why bother putting up the context menu and clicking on copy? So long as the address in the From line is already selected (which it was when I tried your method), it would seem that the normal thing to do, what I did at any rate, was just to press control c to copy to clipboard. And of course then start a new message and paste this into the new From line, just as you say. But why do you bring the context menu into this when it's just an ordinary control c/copy to clipboard type of situation? Maybe you had a special reason? thanks. sn't it uast s when you oi hehoosith the ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Gomes" <finnygomes@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2005 10:36 AM Subject: Re: To Walt Smith regarding the script about replying to sender rather than the whole list well before you get the script here is a way you can send private messages. Lets say you get a message on the list just like this written by me. To reply to me alone you 1 hold down the alt key and hit the number 1 on the top row twice quickly. 2 hit the context key 3 hit c for copy 4 hit control n for new message 5 hit control v for paste and there you go. web site www.rellek.com/stevegomes phone 720-747-4990 ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Hebert To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2005 11:28 AM Subject: Re: To Walt Smith regarding the script about replying to sender rather than the whole list I too would be intterested in this script--sounds like a great way to reduce the amount of traffic on the list. I usually save all such interesting posts but I was on vacation for about 2 weeks and missed this one. I am putting a direct link for my e-mail address but not necessary, I guess--with this amazing new feature which I imagine is a macro of some sort but certainly clever for someone to think of and write and certainly, long overdue. roberthebert@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Beto Escobar III To: JFW List Serve Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 6:58 AM Subject: To Walt Smith regarding the script about replying to sender rather than the whole list Walt-- , I attempted to follow your directions, but I was unable to accomplish the desired task? Would you please send me, either on or off the list, the exact steps someone without a lot of PC skills can follow? Basically, do not assume anything? I believe this would be a great script to engage, I just need to know how to do it?
