Joyce, You are mostly right, but, you can see all the mail before sending. In order to see all the mail when you are ready to reply or forward and have made the selection to reply or forward, look to the lower left corner and you will see three little ... Click on that and then all the email then appears (as you can see in this email), and this gives you the opportunity to do all kinds of corrections and deletions in the reply/forward box. as well as seeing all of your outgoing post. ​ Also that little down arrow gives you opportunity to edit the subject line. Hope this helps, Joanie Joan Parker Immediate Past President JGS of Greater Miami, Inc. 1) *GOLDBERG,GOULD, GOODSTEIN/GUDSTEIN, BERGER, JAGODA/YAGODA--*Lipno and Plock, Poland-Russia; Galveston, TX; Bronx and Brooklyn, NY. 2) *PARKER, PINKUS/PINCUS, WINOGRAD, ROSEN, (GERSHO-BEROVNA?)--*Brest ( Litovsk), Belarus; Grodno, Russia; Bronx and Brooklyn, NY. *WEISS, NEIBERG, DEL PINO--*Brooklyn, NY. 3) *GELFAND, KATZ, TROCK, KRITZOF*--Berezin/Bresin, Kodima, Minsk, Belarus, Bronx, NY, Miami and Miami Beach, FL.
