SUMMARY
When reading a message in version 3.0 or 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, choosing the Reply button generates a reply using the standard Note form. Using the custom forms feature of Mail, it is possible to configure a form to reply using the same custom form or a different form. This can produce a linking effect between forms.
