Nancy,
As a fellow JFW list member who receives the digest version, I am asking you to please refrain from using the reply-to-message option when sending a reply to the list. The reason you shouldn't use the reply option is that your message will include not only the message you are replying to, but a copy of every other message from the digest version! That really makes it difficult to read the digest because it contains a copy of the previous digest.
When you wish to reply to a message in a digest, copy that specific message and then paste it into a new message. The easiest way to start a new message in Outlook Express is to press Control + the letter N, and that will put you in the To: line, where you will type jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and then you can tab to the subject line and type an appropriate subject, then tab to the message body, type your message, and paste a copy of the message you are replying to beneath it. This is what me and other digest members do to avoid cluttering the digests with duplicates of the previous digest.
Alan
