If you belong to an email based listserv or majordomo discussion group, you may sometimes want to reply to the individual who posted the message to the group. Other times you may want to reply to the whole group. Misaddressed mail, especially to discussion groups, is a frequent and embarrassing problem. Don't let it be a problem for you. Often you may want to pass a message on, with or without comment to someone else who you feel needs the information.
All mailers support the message forward option.
Be aware though, that if that person responds the message, they are likely to respond to you instead of the original sender. Deleting messages Many email messages, once read, have no intrinsic value. Getting in the habit of deleting these immediately will make it that much easier for you to manage the mail that you must save. Your feedback, additions, and corrections to this document are most welcome.
