Dear Bolderdash, Thank you for the quick reply. I have been on the receiving end of complaints about large websites. Therefore, I understand that you are not setting the policies but you are receiving the complaints. I am going also send this message to via the Letters and Comments link http://letters.gardenweb.com/letters/mailwebm.html. We would like an answer from someone at iVillage in a timely manner A Can you or someone at iVillage explain what browser settings and computer settings are the source of the problem? B. Can you explain this a little more? Did ivillage turn off email due to a security issue? C. I will let people on the Florida Gardening Forum know of the Letters and Comments link. How do we get to the Letters and Comments page from Gardenweb? Again, I have been on the receiving end of complaints about large web sites for many years, so I can understand that you probably have a large workload & almost everything is a complaint. However, please remember that the people who have remained with Gardenweb are very faithful customers who stayed when others have left. Our complaints are not directly aimed at you, but at "iVillage". Thank you, Lynne

I have been creating a new Word doc, copying the info, and sending that. But that is a cumbersome process. How are you coping? Are you draging your pointer over the text to highlight it and than right clicking it and clicking Copy? You would than right click your email and click paste. You can also copy and paste the part you want to a new page and save it to your Documents. After this you open your Outlook Express for create email and click your open email page and than at the top click on Insert - than click Text from File - go to My Documents and Select the file you saved to be sent latter. Be sure and use select not open for the file you want. When you click select your file will transfer to your open email.

Buehl, The message you are seeing at the bottom of the email (PLEASE NOTE: The member responding to your post has chosen not to reveal his or her email address. Therefore, you cannot reply to this message via email) only means that you are not able to respond by clicking Reply within your email account (gmail, yahoo, outlook, hotmail, etc, etc). However, there is a way to send them a response ... go to their 'My Page' and respond to them from there. You do not have to respond via your email account. If they are set up to be able to receive email, you can respond to them from their My Page the same way they emailed you (they went to your My Page). NOTE however, if they do not have their account set up to receive emails as in your instructions above, you will not be able to reply to them from their My Page either. Finding a member 'My Page' ... http://members.gardenweb.com/members/search.cgi I believe it IS upper or lower case sensitive Using your instructions above, you also have the choice to have your email address revealed or not revealed in your settings on that same page (show my email address to: none). I have mine set up for 'none' and I see that you have your account set up this way as well which I think is smart . . . . I noticed something that made me change my settings ... When you email someone, if they have their email revealed, GW will automatically show you the person's email address. Just in case any spammers ever come trying to harvest email addresses, I thought it would be a good idea to change my settings. Because I use my real, work email address in GW, not a fake throwaway address. Click the first link below and you will see an example of how you can see that person's email address. Typically, when I send a private message to someone using GW, I include my email address in the body of the message, so they can respond without having to search me out using My Page. But I can still keep my email address private within my gardenweb settings. This way it makes it easier for the person I am messaging. I can choose to send/receive emails and neither of us has to unblock our email address. I have sent a suggestion asking GW to make this message that appears at the bottom of the email more clear, because it is very confusing how they have it worded. It makes it sound like you cannot respond at all to the person emailing you. You can send a suggestion too ...

My yahoo email hasnt worked in almost 2 weeks. I log in, and it has to verify who I am, and then tells me, I need a new password, but, it wont accept any password I have tried. It says they are too weak. Well, believe me, I have tried passwords, that if I hadnt written them down first, I would never have remembered them long enough to type them, and they will accept nothing. I give them one more week, until after the Christmas Holidays, and I am going to go find another throw away email account.
