Hah! Done that, now using the improved service as advised. Many thanks 
for that tip - it cures exactly my problem and I hope this is now framed 
in the manner which satisfies.

Actually, as a retired person I do everything from home - either on the 
laptop as now (dog-sitting old pooch downstairs) or upstairs on the 
desktop. My 'corporate' profile is with airship-association.org. I am a 
Council member and run several of their operations with the email 
address treasurer at airship-association.org. But that is just a domain 
name purchased from Netnames and they redirect all my Airship 
Association emails to michael.rentell at ntlworld.com. So I am in that 
personality when the majority of KLUG stuff arrives. I don't respond 
much (probably just as well) but when I have done in the past I have cut 
and stored the text, changed personality, and then pasted it all into a 
new email. However that never takes the Subject box content with it so I 
then have a blank subject box. Older folk don't remember things as well 
as they oughta so l then have to try and remember what it was. Mostly I 
can't, so I put something in which is close to what I remember. That 
don't always work either.

So those are the explanations which are descriptive of how lesser brains 
manage this strange business.

Now with this newly fixed facility I can do many more. Ya might regret that.

G'day all.
