Debbie, Another option is to Forward the message. That way the email program does not fill in the "To:" address but leaves it blank for you to enter the address. The address you want will be listed in the "original message" "From:" Highlight the address and click copy; then click in the To: area and then click paste. (copy and paste either will have icons or will be in the Edit menu) -----Original Message----- From: Debbie White <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Monday, November 08, 1999 7:44 PM Subject: Replying to people Is there some way to write to people privately when they don't give their e-mail addresses? I don't like clogging up the list with personal items, but I cannot figure out how to reply to anyone besides the list. THanks. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
