CLICK4HPers, The pesky little problem of computers getting confused when a
REPLY contains the TO:/FROM: and other fields has three simple solutions.
Each has its merits. They are:

1. Don't include the full text of the item being replied to. Most email
   software - at your end - allows you to set a 'preference' to not
   include the text of the article to which you are replying. Other
   software PINE ( the on-line reader) can be set by the operator of
   the system where you read your email. EUDORA (the off-line reader)
   has similar options.

2. Most email software allows you to CLICK&CUT parts of a message so
   you can PASTE only that which you want to have in your REPLY. (The
   QUICKLINK package -in some versions- doesn't have this service.
   (Why Not? Good question!)

3. If you have to include the message in a REPLY - a practice which
   imposes a burden on others - you can DELETE lines as Alison has
   suggested (Ctrl-K in PINE, EDIT,CUT in Windows Packages). That is
   the best solution. The other is to simply place a ">" in front of
   the 'risky lines'. The computer will never take a line with > in
   the first spot to be a command.


ALSO - while we are at it - if you send commands to the [log in to unmask]
to change your subscription settings, we advise you to not append your
signature file since the computer will treat the 'signature' as further
commands. Usually this is of no matter but on occasion it confuses the
computer and it fails to execute your request. If you have trouble getting
the signature file out (or don't want to bother with deleting it) a simply
one line which says:  end     below your command lines, will usually cause
the computer to ignore whatever follows.
