Composing messages off-line
Yahoo Message Number: 50029
Is there a way to compose messages off-line that can then be
 imported to the posting box that we all use or would you incorporate

some kind of cut and paste routine ?

Thanks

JC

 JC, I'm going to assume that you are using Outlook Express.  If that is the case, then all you have to do when finished composing an email is to click on "File" and then "Send Later."  Once you sign on, your emails will be automatically sent.
 If you're using some other email program, I would imagine the procedure would be somewhat similar.

Yes I use Outlook Express. One more question.

When you send this email, after composing it, do you send it while

you are on the posting page or do you send it like a regular email

to this group and it gets posted automatically to the group, just

like a regular post ?

Thanks

 You send it just like you would any other email and, yes, it's posted automatically to the group just as though it were written directly from the Yahoo website.
 I find using email to send and receive posts is much easier than trying to read posts from the website.  I don't like the way Yahoo throws s in between every other post or so, and I have no way of knowing which posts I've already read...unless I make a note of the last message number.
 Also, if I'm using my cell phone as a connection, I can download all the posts and read them offline rather than spending time, and minutes, reading them online.
 What I don't know is whether or not you can send an email to the group if you don't have your options set to receive posts via email.  Maybe Andy can answer that question.
