General Tips
- To make it easier on everyone, always
include a subject when you send an e-mail. Besides letting
people know what the e-mail is about, it can prevent spam
filters from thinking your e-mail is spam.
- If you want to reply to a message and your reply is meant specifically for the person who sent the original e-mail, then put that person's name at the top of your message so that everyone knows whom the e-mail is intended for.
You can also send a private e-mail to that person (instead of sending to the entire list). You can do this (a) by copying and pasting the person's e-mail address from their original email or (b) by using the Ewail list that Larry
sent out.
- To make e-mails shorter when you reply, highlight any
non-important text in the reply and press delete.

How to add YahooGroups to your Favorites
This is handy if you belong to more than one YahooGroup (for
Internet Explorer only--if you're using AOL or Netscape, you'll
have to figure this out on your own).
- Before signing out, click on My Groups.
- Add page to your Favorites menu (click on Favorites,
then Add to Favorites and add it where you want).
Now, when you click on this new link, the MyGroups Yahoo
page opens showing you all your groups.
