How do you send a private email?

June 20, 2006

I was trying to send a private email to someone on the list, but that

ability seems to be gone. I saw something called Messenger, but it

doesn't let me send anything. Is there still a way to send a private

email if you don't know the person's private address?

Thanks for any help!

Good morning Alice

To post a private reply

Copy the from address

Wrte a new letter and mail to. You cannot use the reply to for just the individual in this group

The only thing I can suggest is: If you wrote to them before -RECENTLY - maybe you can pick up the address by checking your old SENT MAIL - I don't know how often you delete those. Also on AOL - I can go into recently deleted mail and pick up anything from there until I permanently delete it.

Other than that - I don't know what to suggest. I'm not real hep with how to do fancy things - Shirley from Southern Illinois

The problem is, I don't get individual emails; I read everything on

the Yahoo site instead. I can't see anyone's email address. Yahoo

used to send the person an email if you clicked on the person's

name, but now that does not happen.

Alice I see your email address in the from block. I just tried to answer you direct. Did it work

Alice, I just went over to yahoo and experimented. When I hit reply

on a particular message, a " to " box appeared on the top of the message

and I was able to choose if I wanted to respond to the whole group or

to the author of the message.

If this doesn't appear for you after you hit the reply button, you can

probably go into preferences somewhere and change things around. I

don't know where to do that right now.

Your other option is to ask people to send you their address in a

private message and keep a file with addresses in it on the side so

you'll have them when you need them.

Hope this helps

see if you can go into manage groups and chance the setting back to

'traditional' if it no longer is.

I have that setting and I can still see the email option.

Also, from the group when I reply to a post, the To: field, has a drop

down menu and allows me to choose to send the post via anonymous email

to the writer. Be very careful, i have had it not send it to the

writer but default to the group.

Thank you Elaine, and everyone else who helped me figure this out.

Yes, it's quite simple once I saw that the To: box at the top of

the " Post Message " screen has a drop-down. I can either choose the

whole Yahoo group or the author of the post or the group owner.

Pretty slick!

Thanks again.
