Mike and Wendy,

I only got Mike's reply - not Wendy's.

Question:  How do I reply and include the original message text?  So far I've
had to cut and paste.

Thanks,


Jim

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Yes, I got the message below and doubt that you sent it directly to me

Dear Magic Cap User Group,

If you're replying to a Telecard originally addressed to more than one person
or addressed using a group name card, Option-touching the reply button will
send your reply Telecard to everyone.  Just touching Reply sends to the
originator only.  However, because you're replying to a mailing list, it
handles its own routing I believe.  So in this case, from a Magic Cap device
it shouldn't matter whether you touch reply or Option-touch reply.

Subject: Re: A working Presto!Mail connect script

This is the same script I wrote to get into my ISP, seems that LOTS of
people are having this same trouble, to bad the beta testing did not go
longer than it did.

Dear Magic,

FYI, 'The Good Guys' here in Southern CA has the PIC 1000, with XChange, on
sale for $249.

Unbelievable.

Subject: Presto for sale

Dear MagicCappers,

Due to weird circumstances, I have two copies of Presto!Links and
Presto!Mail. I paid 49.95 for one copy, got the other for free. I will
split the difference and sell one (still in shrink wrap) for $25.00.
Postage included. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Jim,
Check the original date of Wendy's message, Jan 25 (see below).  This is why you didn't get the message or at least why you don't remember getting it recently.  I was confused origianlly too.

There is no way, in MC1.0 at least, to include the original message text automatically you have to cut and paste.  There is a program called Quoter that will work like most email programs and put the > before each line.  You still have to cut and paste though.  You could forward it but unless you are sending it to someone on Plink or using Presto!Mail the original would be deleted.  If you use Presto!Mail the message, to normal people, will have encoded text at the bottom.

Hope this helps.

Dear MagicCappers,

For all parties interested in the Presto!Mail, Links package, it has
been sold. Thanks for the interest. This has got to be the fastest I
have ever sold anything.

Hi I have a pic 1000 new used for only about 45 minutes with magic xchange
for Macintosh and the speakerphone kit. I got caught up in the frenzy at a
computer auction and now don't don't know what to do with it.
