Re: [PyrNet-L] a (hopefully) helping hand... Non-Pyr



Is there another method of which to highlight and forward only that portion
of a message.  Unfortunately, my computer will not allow me to highlight and
reply to only that portion of the message/post.  I can "reply" then
highlight the portions of the message that I do not want to make reference
and "cut" those portions from my post.

Do you know of another way to accomplish as you state below?

Sincerely,
Danita
