Dear Suzanne,

Where did you find this procedure, I get all the posts directly to my

E-Mail, can I do this procedure that way too. I only go into the site

directly when there are new files, or when I am helping to moderate. I'm

willing to learn new things! Kathy please keep posting, thats why we are

here!

A couple more alternatives are:

To rapidly delete the entire message, click at the top (this works for Outlook, Outlook Express, GMail and probably almost anything), then hit Ctrl+A. That selects the whole lot, then hit delete.

Alternatively, if you want to reply to a specific message within the digest, scroll to the start of the message, click there, hold down Shift and press and hold Page Up. When you've reached the top of the digest, hit delete, and repeat the process from the bottom of the message (or section) that you want to reply to, using Shift + Page Down this time.

Hope that helps!

Another alternative is to get the messages to your email individually, not as a digest.
