Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Maybe someone can help me. When I try to reply to an email from this mailing list and send it privately to someone off list, it won't let me. When I hit reply to sender only, it puts the oils and herbs etc. address in my send to box. The only way for me to send it privately is if I know or see the senders address. I don't understand why this does it. I have not had this problem with other email lists that I have been on. I just clicked on reply to sender only. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi Laura, When you hit Reply, the email goes to the address sending the original email--for lists, it's the list posting address. When you want to send to someone without going thru the list, you need their email addy, and I know sometimes these lists hide it so spammers can't harvest email addresses easily. But you can look in the headers of an email and find the address of the original sender. How you do that varies, depending on the email program you're using. I do good with Netscape; I don't use anything else so I dunno how to do it there. Did I help at all?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Finally - a question *I* can answer easily.....the trick is to do this, however, BEFORE you get into the message and forget to change the - in which case, you post the entire message to the list, which COULD be embarrassing. Ask me how I know this....... 1) click on reply 2) delete whatever is in To: 3) add the email you intend on sending to. or, alternately...... 1) click on forward (this leaves the field blank) 2) enter whomever you wish to see the email.
