Agreed, its hard. I,ve got hotmail, which makes it a pain to veiw /
edit multiple messages, but ive taken to reading all, and just deleting
those I KNOW I won't reply to. I can then go back and reconsider where
replies are most needed.
>I answer a thread as I see it. Also, I jump through the contents of my
e-mail by hitting the "up" cursor key, which causes instant jumping to
the next message. I don't jump in and out of the e-mails just to >look
at the menu screen.
That still doesn't make it harder to change the topic header when you
write your response, if your adressing anything besides exactly what was
in the original message (or no longer adressingthat topic at all!)
