 Back to the original topic. Grock, forgetting all those chatters, back to your original question. To do a long piece, set up a text file elsewhere in your PC,(My Documents is the obvious choice) compose your message there. Take your time and get it right. Now save it so that you can come back for it if you need to. Now right click for MENU, click CUT, it will store the complete file elsewhere. Now go to reply, select menu onthe answer space, click PASTE and you should get a full copy of your message. You may have to tidy it up, depending on the utility that you used to build the text message, in particular deleting blank lines and extra returns, but you can't lose your original whatever goes wrong.
If you can't get it sorted out, mail me personally and I'll help you sort it.

Allan, Grock should click COPY not CUT as you can lose stuff that's been cut and have nothing to go back to. With COPY you can try as many times as you like, especially if you save the file that has the text in.

And she could just highlight the text, then do alt+C in her original window, then go to her message to us and do alt+v.

Err - we tried. Hopefully not wet by the puddles and nothing to do with Axa.
