Same here. And if I back up a space too far, the entire text box disappears.

In AOL, you select/highlight the part of the email your want to quote and

then hit the reply button. It automatically copies only that portion of the

original email. However, now with the changes to Yahoo, it places the text into

a box. Then it takes my words and treats the copied words like a photo box,

wrapping my reply text around it. It is REALLY weird!

So, now I select my choice of quoted text, hit reply, then highlight that

copied text (again), copy it, and then delete it and lastly, paste it in again

as straight text into the email.

A LOT more work that should be needed! (sigh)

But at least everyone else is having similar problems, which means my

conspiracy theory is not true in this case. (grin)

Barbara - is there a new way to edit? Whenever I try to delete what was written

to only respond to a section it highlights the whole thing? Am i missing

something?

Hi Sara and Robin - I'm not 100% sure I'm likin' the new yahoo format

myself! If you login to yahoo on the web and then edit your groups, you

can view messages in " traditional " format vs. the new format. That's

what I've done and like it better...

Try that and let me know.

Thanks - and thanks for being so considerate!

I went to edit your groups and didn't see anything like what you are

mentioning.

I was just given the option of ind. emails vs. digest, and I could change

whether I

wanted things changed to HTML or not.

Ditto here and quite impossible for me to do if I want to quickly respond from

work. What's even better (or is that worse) is that there seems to be two

different text boxes that you need to get rid of.

Those on digest....if we forget to remove both of them, are they showing up?

I have to say that with MSN, this new format is great. The digest is much more

organized than before. I can jump to a specific topic without scrolling down to

it, etc. To reply I cut and paste the section I'm responding to, which is the

way I've always had to do it with MSN (one of the things I miss about AOL is

being able to just highlight the text and have it magically appear in the new

message, but now I see that wouldn't help me anymore anyway). And also, now I

can hit reply at the bottom of a specific message and it puts that subject into

my subject box instead of me having to copy and paste that so it doesn't come up

as the subject being " Digest 3028 " or whatever digest it is. So I guess there

is at least one person who likes the change .
