For Eudora users:  If you wish to reply to a specific message in MMD,
simply highlight the message (hold down the left mouse button and drag
across the message and stop when all you want included is highlighted in
blue).  Click on Edit/Copy - that will send the highlighted text (rather
than the entire digest) to the Windows Clipboard.  Then click Message/New
Message.  Type rolls@foxtail.com in the To: line.  Fill out the Subject
line.

Then hop down to the first line of the blank message and click so that
the cursor appears, and click on Edit/Paste.  Bingo!  The original
message appears and you can edit it as new text and add your own
comments.  When you're done, click on Queue then File/Send Queued
Messages.  You're done, and our beleaguered editor ;=) is relieved of
much needless work.
