You mean responses are going to "NaiveOne(a)MyFriendlyPhoneCo.gov"? I rather think that there is no such email address especially with a ..gov extension. My apologies if this is a problem. I've changed the "reply to" to the default whatever that is. If you have anything else you'd like me to change please tell me exactly which item. >The TRAC is a traction control switch.

IIRC it has diagonal lines on it and something that could be a headlight. If driving lights are like fog lights (just not yellow) I don't have them on the car. >> There's a switch just below the T handle on the gear shift lever, i.e. >> right below the button to allow you to put the transmission in reverse or >> park.

Obviously I haven't done my homework here. Yes, there's something written on them/it but I'll have to investigate tomorrow to say what it is. >> Thanks

Do the lines >go vertically, horizontally or diagonally? Is there a sort of parabola >depicted from which the lines emanate? Definitely a rocker switch. Lines are somewhat diagonal IIRC and there's indeed a parabola or headlight. See my other reply. In my own defence (or excuse for not finding out this info in advance) I thought you'd all be able to ID these items just by position. I certainly could have on my previous car, not that it had any of this type of stuff. >> It seems that locking the driver's door with the key also locks the >> hatchback but the inverse is not true.

Turning >it twice in succession (a double-click of sorts) unlocks everything else >at once. Ah, now that's good info. I'll try that. I've also found out that locking the driver's door from outside locks all the other doors.

The point is that with your "Reply To" set to a fake (or real) email address, replies will not end up in this group. And you did it again. I had to fix it. Go back and reset your Forte Agent to its default settings. -- Tegger

From: NaiveOne(a)MyFriendlyPhoneCo.gov Newsgroups: alt.autos.toyota Followup-To: NaiveOne(a)MyFriendlyPhoneCo.gov See your "Followup-To"? That's the problem (I was absent-mindedly calling it "Reply To"). "Followup-To" is not meant to echo to your email address. The "Followup- To" will override any other destination you put. "Followup-To" is meant for messages with many crossposts. It is meant to redirect any further replies towards a group that the Followup-setter thinks is best for that thread. It's normally used to kick OT threads out of groups where they are not desired. With the settings you've chosen, I have to remove your email address and manually type in "alt.autos.toyota" in order for my messages to be received by this group. Just leave "Followup-To" blank (the default setting) and all will be well. -- Tegger
