This depends on how you are receiving them. If as individual emails,
just click reply in your mail program. If it's digest it's more complex
as Yahoo has deliberately messed it up.

Yahoo has at least two levels of digests, I don't know much about their
deluxe mode as I just read the regular digest. For the regular digest
you must edit the address you are sending to as they have it set up to
just send you a silly message to try and get you to take the deluxe
message. Edit the address you are sending to:


Also edit the message you are replying to in the body as with the digest
it will be the entire digest that's quoted. Minimize what you quote. I
use netscape and copy the part of the digest from the reader that I want
and paste it as a quote into my message to replace the quoted digest.
You also need to copy the subject line of the message you are replying
to into the subject line in your mailer. While it sounds like a lot to
do it takes moments once you are used to it.

And last if you are reading the messages as a webpage instead of email
there is a reply button.
