Does you question have any connection to Excel at all ?

In your own words looks like  Outlook Express and/or in Microsoft Word.

When you post to a newsgroup,  you are expected to pick up your replies
where you post them to.    Asking to receive an email copy is not out of hand,
but will often be ignored,  because of those that have no intention of reading
replies in the newsgroups.   Such a request might generate an email that
says see reply in newsgroup., but don't count on it.  Sharing in newsgroups is
what newsgroups are all about,  and  some people freak out when email
replies are mentioned.     Sharing is what newsgroups are all about.
