Re: Addressing the sender of an email. OPTIONS

What the hell benefit do you get out of "Thank you"'s anyway. I put it you that no-one gets benefit except the sender.

Rae,

Personal replies are nice but some members of this group actually LEARN from the replies that are posted to the whole group. My INBOX is crowded but I would not consider it "CHUGGED UP." Someone might ask a question that I would have asked. I would like to see all answers. I am sending this to the entire group as you can see. I usually review my email every morning, afternoon and evening. I usually just review the subject line and check off the ones I don't want to read. Also there are easier ways to reply personally instead of replying to the whole group but I will not cover that in this email.

Thanks for reading this. No reply necessary. Good luck to all.

Hi Donna (and all others in the group). Pls forgive me for using your email just now as an example for everyone, but others might welcome knowing this too. [i explained this 6 months ago, but I figure there's lots of newbies in the group now who may not have seen it...]Right now there are 2535 members of this group. Every time any member hits reply, you will send an email to every member of the group. It would REALLY HELP to cut down the sheer volume of messages that we all have to read through to look for the good ones, if we could all send personal replies like this directly back to the sending person's email address, rather than simply hitting (reply) and chugging up everyone's inbox.If you're unclear how to find a sender's address in group mail, here's one way to do it: I read emails in Outlook's 'Reading Pane', and in this mode when new group emails come in, the sender's email address is shown at the top of the pane. Right-click on that address, and choose 'Outlook Properties' from the drop-down list. Copy the sender's email address into your memory's buffer with Ctrl-C, then cancel out. Forward the email (not Reply), then paste the buffered email address into the Send-to field by hitting Ctrl-V, then write what you want to say and Send. Voila! It's easy when you know how...Rae-----Original Message-----From: low dose naltrexone [mailto:low dose naltrexone ] On Behalf Of donna chopyakSent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 11:24 AMlow dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] A QUESTION ABOUT CANCERTHANKS ALETHA I WILL DEFINATELY CHECK THAT STUFF OUT.YOU ARE SOOOOOO AWESOME AND HELPFUL, I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.DONNA C.

Am beginning to suspect some do it (perhaps subconsciously) to pi.. off

the long standing members of the group and drive them away so that they

can become the new 'ex-spurt'. Good for their minute ego but of

detriment to the group to lose the really knowledgeable and experienced

long time members. Just my opinion.......

Either that or they need the glory of seeing their name 'in print' even

if only for a meaningless thank you.

This is when sending the thank you directly to that person is needed. The personal email address is right there. All 2500 people don't need to get a 'thank you' that is intended for one person. We are all grown ups, I think, and surely that can be understood. Marcie

The issue is that you're not just saying 'thank you' to one person, but to all 2526 of us in group today -- many (especially those with dial up) who really wish you wouldn't. Out of respect, I urge everyone to not just hit Reply if you've got a personal comment to make; but mention your thought to the sender directly. This is not an issue about respecting your right to be courteous, but requesting nicely that people stop wasting each other's time reading unnecessary emails. [There's quite some support for my position on this out there, you know.]

This is really upsetting to read. Just my thoughts. Are we not here to help others? Just checking. I thought I was somewhere else for a minute.

Thanks for pointing this out. Good to know. I'm glad I asked the

question now others will know.

****Everyone, Please take note on how to send emails directly to

people via the group website (see below.)****

Now lets put this behind us and talk more about LDN.

All The Best,

On the right side of the screen below the members name there's a spot

that says Send Email. This is meant to go just to that one person,

not the entire group. See example below.

It is itself which sets it up so the reply to address is

automatically back to the group and there is nothing that any moderators

can do about it.

It seems to depend on how you receive posts from the group emails - if

you receive them as ordinary emails most email programs should show you

the original senders email address. I use Mozilla and it certainly

does, so if I wish to reply directly to the sender all I have to do is

copy their email address from the original email (in Mozilla, right

click on it and select Copy Email Address), then click on Reply, delete

the address in the reply which will automatically say

low dose naltrexone and paste the original sender's

address in instead.

There are lots of variations on that depending on a) how you prefer to

do things and the email program you use but the general principle

still applies i.e. if people are getting the group posts as actual

emails they should be able to copy the originating sender's email

address from their email.

People who read the posts directly from have problems I believe as

automatically hides part of the sender's email address so that

spammers can't just read the emails to harvest nice, juicy, legitimate

addresses to send more of their crap to. Rtee54 posted a method for

replying directly to the sender if you read the posts directly on

so that one looks to have been covered too..

Not sure how the digest works as have never received anything that way,

so not sure whether senders' addresses are visible or not.
