Well, I don't find it that easy to find the pause button. If I did, that would solve one of my problems. Sometimes, while looking for the pause button, because dictation imput has not stopped, I get extra junk in my message, which I then have to get rid of. My problem with editing text has to do with Focus jumping from the edit box to somewhere else. I agree that up-and-down on the navigation granularity is nice. But The ease with which my edit box seems to lose focus is a major issue. I don't know if you use threaded conversations or not. I do. And I really appreciate being able to just go through mail, read what I want and delete as I go, thread by thread. It sounds like you delete all your stuff at the end of the email session. I don't always get through all of my email in one session, if it is stacked up. I guess this is a matter of style, since if you are selecting those selectors as you go, you could just delete all the selected stuff before you quit the mail session. Different routines for different people I guess. But the dictation thing is a real showstopper for me as long as I can't edit efficiently and stop the dictation efficiently. Anyway, I suppose this is off the original question. But it is an interesting discussion. Mary
