In some lists, a reply goes to the person who wrote the message you are responding to, and if you want it to go to everyone on the list, you have to make a special effort. Instead of hitting “reply” one has to hit “reply to all”. PBS is not like that. A reply goes to the whole membership, and in order to send a private message to the person who posted a message, you have to make a special effort. The message you received will have this at the top: NAME of person who wrote the message via pbs [pbs] Title of the message To: Pacific Bulb Society, Cc: Name of person who wrote the message. If you put your cursor on the name after the Cc, you will get a v When you click on that v, the first line will be the email address of the person who wrote the message. Under that are a few choices (in my mail program - yours may be a bit different): Copy address Add to VIPs New email Add to Contacts (or your address book) Search for Name of person who wrote the message. To send a message to that person, I click on “New email” Diane Whitehead _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
