Re: OT question about tech. problem with yahoo e-mail

[Guest guest]

Jennie,

I’m horribly ignorant with computer

stuff, but a trick I use when I cant manipulate an incoming email, is to click

it onto Forward and then delete selectively.  Then save. 

Hope this helps,

Ron.

OT question about tech. problem with yahoo e-mail

Does anyone know why on Yahoo I can't selectively delete

parts of the message? I have to delete all and then copy and paste from the

original or leave the whole thing with all the extra junk. It's very annoying.

Anyone?

What you get from Yahoo is a display (in a web browser?) of email in one

window, with another *separate and empty* window for answers?

My frequent-flyer wife sometimes *must* use " WebMail " - Earthlink's

version of what Yahoo offers. The format described above is what she

gets, and she works around the inconvenience the same way you do. She

hates it too but is stuck with it, ...sez she. Maybe you are too.

It sounds like you need to change the settings or

preferences of Yahoo! Mail.

Clik <Option> in the upper right-hand corner of

this page.

Scroll to the bottom, <Message Actions>

The third item <Replying> offers three options:

-Don't include original message when replying

-Include part of the original message when

replying

-Include full original message when replying

I have my Yahoo! Mail set to the last option. The

entire message appears when I reply. I can block

and delete, edit and paste.

My e-mail program is Outlook Express. It works fine for everything but not for e-mails coming from yahoo lists. All my other e-mail is fine so far as editing, etc. E-mails originating in yahoo did this when I used msn as well. It's something associated with yahoo. I don't have a yahoo e-mail address. When I get an e-mail from this list or other yahoo lists and I hit reply it does the usual but then will not allow me to delete only parts of it.

I don't have yahoo mail. It's the mail that comes to me from yahoo lists. When I hit reply it displays all but will not let me delete only parts. It automatically highlights all of it. Jennie

Thanks Ron. I tried this but it doesn't work either. The same thing occurs. All or nothing. J

I think that may not be the case; see way below.

I use Mozilla 1.7.13 for email (inter alia). You'll have seen my posts

to ASPIRES for a long time - all replied to via Mozilla.

As you see here, I insert anything at all..., anywhere I want....

Like you, I do not have a Yahoo email account. That *shouldn't* make

any difference. ...And for me it *doesn't* make any difference.

Since *your* _email client_, like mine, is providing both EDIT services

and SEND MAIL services, I wonder if it's your _Outlook Express_ settings

somehow doing you in. Have you checked those???

You'll have to ask someone else as to how you might change 'em. I don't

use Windows-(xyz) at all; and my wife _avoids_ Outlook Express, etc.
