Hi, Svetaswan,
Yes, you are right--I get group messages by email and I just click the reply window on yahoo mail. When I send a private email, I delete the esens address and paste the address of the person I am replying to privately.
I see what you mean; tho it probably is not a function of the messageboard to send a private email from there, is it? Have you done it before and it remained private? It has been eons since I used one but I don't think you could send privately from the messageboards when I used them. (May have changed tho since then.)

Hi Diane - thanks for the explanation. One key difference between your experience (that you described below) and mine is that you might have been sending both your group and private emails using Yahoo! Mail - from what you wrote, it sort-of sounds like that was your m/o. For myself, I elect not to receive group messages via email. Unless someone emails me privately (which I don't mind at all) - I come to the group board to read and to post messages. It's just a bit easier for me to do it that way - I have a hard time keeping up with lots of messages via email.
So I'm not sure if I can go to my "Sent" folder (in Yahoo! Mail) to double-check the addressee(s) of my original post - it's probably not archived there since I wrote my post using the "Post Message" form on the group's messageboard.
But even on the group messageboard - I thought I was "pressing the right buttons" to successfully send a private email. The procedures might be different than when you're using Yahoo! Mail - but I thought I was following them. Oh well - maybe I just discovered a more "fool proof" way to do it...I'lltry this method the next time I want to send someone a private email.
Oh and, like I told Steve...if it were up to me, WiFi in my home would be history. But I'm not in control of that decision, and I'm having a horrible time convincing my parents that I've been suffering from various harmful effects from it (I've "felt" it more ever since we switched from Comcast to AT&T Uverse a couple of months ago) - and that it's just not a good idea, healthwise, to have that microwave-spewing beast in our home. I'm trying not to give up in trying to convince them - but it's hard to find the energy topresevere when I'm so impaired by my various "maladies". I wish they took me more seriously with this.

I double-checked because I've made the mistake before of sending a message I meant for oneperson to the entire group. I thought I was avoiding that mistake this time - because of what I saw in the "To:" box.

I did the same thing when I sent those private emails that I did when I *attempted* to send this one, so this is baffling.
