397.0. "VMS 7.1 Mail Reply Behavior" by ALFSS2::GRINNELL_M () Thu Mar 27 1997 17:50

    Under 7.1 VMSMAIL when a user replys to a mail message, hits ctrl Z,
    to send the message then hits return in order to return mail message to
    which he/she replied, the mail message is 
    1)being moved forward to the next screen of text if more than 1 screen 
      of mail text 
    2)being moved forward to the next mail message if on the last page of
      mail text
    
    Is this behavior in mail intentional? I checked the 7.0 and 7.1 release
    notes and found no mention of this change. 
    
    I tested for the same behavior under 6.1 and this behavior was
    definitely not there. When replying to a mail message the user always
    returned to the beginning of the mail message to which he/she was
    replying.
    
    Bug, feature, change or ? Any clarification would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks, 
    Michael

	Submit a problem report.  As a workaround, use MAIL/OLD if this is
	really bugging you.

	Be sure to include a log showing MAIL settings (such as editor).
