Dear Listers,
I am glad that Jacqueline has raised this issue, since it does add considerably to the time needed to read / scroll through the Digest. Another tip is to but a "scrolling mouse" which speeds up the time needed to get through long documents. There are super-duper mice on the market which cost quite a lot: mine was a cheap one and performs perfectly well.
HOW TO DETACH MESSAGE FROM YOUR REPLY IN OUTLOOK EXPRESS.
Following my request for original messages to be detached, someone wrote to me asking how to do this in Microsoft Outlook Express. This is the email client (software) that comes free with Internet Explorer and, being Microsoft and free, is probably pretty common. So here's what you do: At the top of the screen you will see a line which has "File ... Edit ... View ..." etc. Click on Tools, move the mouse pointer all the way down to Options and release the mouse button. You get a "dialog box" headed Options, with various file "tabs" at the top. Click on the "Send" tab. You will see a series of "check boxes" (small boxes just large enough to contain a tick). One of these is labelled "Include message in reply". If there is a tick in the box next to this, click on the tick and it will disappear. If there is no tick, all is well. Click on "OK" at the bottom. That's it!
Yours, Curzon Tussaud.
