Hi Elaine, you write: "every time I want to re-read or re-send something, I find I must search the messages or material with a guess at the key words in the body of the email " My solution is: When I have a name or specific info that I want to keep in a posting I receive, I fwd. the letter to myself, changing the "subject" to the info./name that will catch my attention when looking for it later in the "sent" mail. Do you understand?
