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.
Separating your Ewail mail in Outlook
(this is not Outlook Express)
If you run Outlook, as opposed to Outlook Express, here's
a procedure for creating a folder for your Ewail mail and
creating a rule so Ewail mail automatically goes into the
Ewail folder.
Create a folder called Ewail
Right-click on Outlook Today and select New Folder.
Enter the name of the folder (Ewail) and click OK.
Click on the Tool menu and select Rules Wizard.
Click on New.
Click Next.
Click the check mark to remove it, then click on "with
specific works in the subject."
In the bottom half, click on "specific words."
In the Search Text window, type Ewail and click Add then
click OK.
Select the folder you created in Step 1 and click OK.
Click on Register (on the far right above Join
This Group!)
Fill in the info and submit it (to create your ID and
password)
You will receive a confirmation e-mail.
Go back to the site and click on Sign In.
Type in your Yahoo! ID and Password, and click the Sign
In box.
If everything is right, you will now be in the site (!!!!)
and see the Most recent messages board. On your left
will be the info sidebar of areas you can choose from, including
Photos. If you want to change your e-mail delivery,
go to Edit My Membership.
When you want to leave the site, remember to click Sign
Out.
How to make YahooGroups remember how
to log you in
When you log in, there is a check box called Remember
my ID on this computer. If you select it before you log
in, YahooGroups will log you in automatically when you go
to the Web site.
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.
