Step Three: Important Tips for Using MSA Tax Talk
1.  To reply to messages you receive from the Listserv, be sure that the send-to address appears as msa@listserve.com . 

2. Avoid resending the entire message to which you are replying by cutting and pasting the relevant parts into your response. And, please do not resend a digest back to the e-mail list.
