I think if you want the other person to know your email, you could include it in your message. I think it was a bit long winded - having to reply to a contact via the GR site. Kathy

Hi Sue Oh Dear I wont delete yet then cause I am bound to lose the lot. Another thing it dosnt tell you if the person has deleted the contact. I wuse to feel so guilty and waited for them to delete me so now my list is huge.

Me too but I'm old and simple and my computor is steam driven so it takes forever. I didn't even get as far as going back to my mail box. I just emailed GC and told them about the niggly bits All in all I like the new layout xx Dave

And I think I have just realised that I cannot send and email through the one I recieve through my email account. I have to it all through this site. But then we wont know peoples email addresses and some things people talk about things that they dont want GC to know about. All very confusing and not very private.

Yep, you have guessed I have just been told I have a message, so it does work. But I read it through the site, and when I went to read it through email I had to click on message to send me to this site again. I didnt like that I would prefer to read it as an email. And then I can save them in the proper folders I have. But now they are all stored on the site. What does everyone else think of this?
