One precaution I can recommend: as you type a long message, hit Cmd-S frequently. That saves a copy in Drafts, and if you accidentally hit Cmd-Delete, the message won't disappear; it will just move to Deleted Items. Having a message disappear without warning isn't good, IMO; Microsoft ought to throw up a warning, "Do you want to delete this message immediately? [yes/no]". What bugs me, though, isn't Cmd-Delete, since I've never gotten in the habit of back-deleting entire words. What bugs me is the plain Delete key when typed in an incoming message window; it deletes the whole message. I fairly often forget I'm in a new message window, and wanting to copy something with a minor deletion, I type the Delete key...and curse! I can recover the message by hunting for it in my Deleted Items folder, but it's a PITA. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
