Here is a helpful tip when composing long seamail. When you finish typing your message, drag your cursor to highlight the whole thing, right click on the highlighted text and choose "copy"

That way, if your post goes off into cyberspace never to be seen again, you can right click on the spot where you type your message and choose paste and the message will be back for a second try!
You don't need to highlight it more than once as you can paste the same info over and over again until you get the job done.

This way only takes 2 seconds, much easier than composing emails in Word.
