Hello, Everyone:
I know that the message below was posted to Nessa, (and it is also very
old) so I hope that I am not repeating an answer she might have given
you (Michael) privately.

If I am grasping the question correctly, you are asking if there is a
way to move text from your Word files to your e-mail program? If this
is the case, all you have to do is use the Copy (or Cut) and Paste
functions. They should exist both in your e-mail program and your text
editor (Word) and you simply Copy selected text in your text file and
then Paste it into the dialogue box in which you write e-mail messages.
Does this make sense? I hope not to reiterate anything you already
know. I use these functions to write long messages, during which my web
browser has previously disconnected me, causing me to lose my work.
Since I am at it, I thought I would respond to the requests for comments
on the quality of the Electric Acorn site. As the soon-to-be editor of
an anthology of heroic poetry I am collecting as many poems as possible
from modern poets. In my search, I have skimmed and read thousands of
poems in my visits to personal home pages, webzines, and educational
sites.
When I encountered the Electric Acorn, Vol. II, I immediately joined
the mailing list because of all of the sites I have visited it has the
most consistently high quality of poetry. It also has a good format; at
any time, all of the referents are in place to know whose poem I am
reading, what it's called, and how to get back to the main page. The
page design is clean, relevant, well-organized and compact.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the feature of the "Next" and "Back"
buttons accompanying each poem has been removed in the third volume;
these buttons make it really convenient to browse the poetry without
having to flip back and forth to the home page. But, again, in all my
browsing it's the best poetry site I've found, and I wanted to give the
webmasters heartfelt thanks for creating and maintaining it.
