I just attempted to save an unfinished d-mail as a draft. When I returned to it, it shows that I have a draft, with topic and recipient, but I can't open it to finish the durn thing off and send it! Man, I don't want to have to try to rewrite it! Any thoughts?

Wish I could help you, CJ. I know the feeling of losing a long d-mail to cyberspace. I just typed out a long one, but I copied and pasted it to Microsoft Publisher first. I don't want to lose that one too.

CJ,

The problem with the draft was that the subject was empty and therefore there was nothing to click on. :) I fixed it by giving it an "Untitled" subject if it's blank. You can now access the draft.

best,
dave

Thanks, Dave. I followed your directions, and finished my d-mail, then clicked on send. It disappeared, and I can't seem to find it. But, being forewarned by mgh, and just in case, I copied it to Word, and don't have to rewrite it. But I don't know where it went. Cyperspace heaven, I guess.... Looking forward to meeting you Saturday!!

After you click on Send it's not a draft anymore, but actually sent. The draft only exists until you bring it back into the edit and send it.

But when I clicked on send, it did not send. There was no message that it had been sent. Nothing. But all is OK. I retrieved it from Word last night, and sent it on. This time it worked.

That's very odd. I wonder if there was an interuption in your internet connection between your computer and the DG servers when you were sending it. Several other Dmails were sent successfully last night. I'm sorry for your inconvenience, and am glad that you did get it sent.
