Replying to E-mail Messages After you've read a message, you may want to respond.   The window with the e-mail you are reading typically has a Reply button. Click this button to open a new window. The To and Subject lines are automatically filled in with the e-mail address of the sender and the subject of the message.   You might also have a Reply To All or similar button that also opens a new window. In this case, all the addresses in the CC list are included in the To and CC lines.   In some programs, the original message appears automatically. Other programs have a Quote or Include Original Message button. By clicking on this button, the text of the original e-mail appears in the body of the reply, usually marked in a different font or color, or with a special character, such as the greater than sign (>) at the beginning of each line.   You can choose to place your reply before or after the original text.   To respond to a series of ideas or questions, you can intersperse your reply with the original text. Typically, your replies appear in a different color or font, making it easier to identify.   Learn the Net (www.learnthenet.com) is Copyright 1996-2008. Michael Lerner Productions.
