Newbie Stuff<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>Equis, <BR>Please leave it the way it is.
<P>Common people, this is<B><FONT color=#ff0000> newbie
</FONT></B>stuff. If you use Netscape v4.0x and want to reply directly
to one person, all you have to do is: click and hold on the return email
address of the person you want to send to, slide the mouse off (holding the
left button as you do) so the name and email is highlighted, right-click on
the highlighted name and address and choose {COPY} (not {COPY LINK
LOCATION}). Then click Reply > Reply to Sender, highlight the
Metastock address, right-click and {PASTE}. That's it. I'm sure
you can do something similar in MSFT programs.
<P>Please people, let's forget this newbie stuff and concentrate on
MetaStock, TA, and (of course) making money.

<P>The same group of people will also remember that when someone did do

<P>If I remove the Reply To inserting the list address, everyone on the

<P>This decision is not ours. If the list members want the Reply To

<P>Stan, <BR>Just for the record, I use Netscape Communicator 4. Here's
what the <BR>heading looks like on all posts I recieve from the
Metastock list: <BR>Subject: Re: Clutter on the list <BR> Date:
Fri, 20 Nov 1998 12:13:35 -0500 <BR> From: Stan Rubenstein
stansan@xxxxxxx <BR>Reply-To: metastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <BR> To:
metastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <BR>The following elements are underscored, and
in blue: <BR> Stan Rubenstein stansan@xxxxxxx
<BR> metastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <BR> metastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
<BR>The ONLY way I can respond to Stan Rubenstein is to manually enter
that <BR>email address into a new message. Selecting respond to author
or respond <BR>to all both direct my post back to the list. <BR>The
situation on the RT list is different. Here's a heading from RT:
<BR>Subject: Gen: Opens are the most critical part of the day.
<BR> Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 21:18:38 -0700 <BR> From:
Brent.......... ........@xxxxxxxx <BR> To: RealTraders Discussion
Group realtraders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <BR>Brent...... and RealTraders.....
are underscored and in blue. <BR>On the RT list, if I select reply to
author the post is directed only to <BR>Brent. If I select reply to all
the message goes to Brent AND to the <BR>list. <BR>Isn't there a way
that the owner of the metastock list could change <BR>this? It might
even facilitate communication between people who would <BR>profit from
discussing certain matters in public, but would do better <BR>discussing
other things one-on-one. (Such as Thanks, Paul.; Good call, <BR>Mike.;
Knock'em dead, Ralph.; or simply Me too! Sorry, couldn't resist.)

<BR>Steve you're right. Also on further investigation I <BR>find that
hitting the Reply to Author pulls up the <BR>metastock @ ms...com which
is the list server. <BR>But your note does not bear your origination
<BR>e-mail address so even if I wanted to reply to <BR>just you, I
can't. <BR>But your note also prompted me to find out <BR>that hitting
Reply to All doubles the listserver <BR>address, and now I understand
why some notes <BR>arrive in duplicate, or in the case of CMA
<BR>(author hidden) quadruplicate. <BR>Thanks again for clueing me in.

<P> Thank you Stan. I just hit reply to author and I got:

properly is not as easy as it seems (just like <BR> trading). For
those of you looking for one button solutions...beware.

<P> I use IE 3.02 and MS Outlook 97. When I open an RT note
<BR> I see three icons on top of my screen; Reply to Author,
<BR> Reply to All,and Forward. It is simple to hit the first
button <BR> with a Thank You and not annoy the rest of the list.

<P> It might be helpful if everyone included a mailto: in
their Sig file. <BR> That way it becomes easy to respond
directly to the writer and <BR> bypassing the list.
