ALso can come in handy if you have a few emails you are writing offline (only need to worry about this if you pay per hour for internet use) to different people. Save them in drafts and send them all off at the same time. To send them just..... click on drafts, double click on the email to open, check it then click on send. Sam Sam	Guest (0)

Every time I saved something in there I could never edit it again and had to copy and paste everything into a new email message. Never thought to actually OPEN the email (I have Outlook Express in the Preview Panes view). How embarrassing! Perhaps you've got the same problem Linda? Click on the Drafts folder then double-click on the email file that you see in there until it opens. Once you've finished editing it just treat it like a normal email and click on Send and away it goes, either to your Outbox or to the recipient if your mail gets sent immediately.	Guest (0)
