Yes !
That is just what I was going to suggest !
Except on a machine equipped with Microsoft , I'd use MS Word .
And , HEY BRIAN , I hear ya brother .
I had my nose rubbed in just exactly the same lessons , lessons from Juno , several times .
Compose on some regular program on your computer . SAVE IT ! Use the "Save" button . Or use the "Save As" , to allow you to chose any title for your composition , and any file to save it in . But do save it ! Then COPY it onto your e-mail program ( copy & paste ) . Leave the original alone ! Only then hook up to the internet . Hit the send & receive button .
This method will give you original copies of your letters , in some file folders which YOU create . This will allow much more flexibility for organizing your letters , into file folders and sub-folders .
Example :
Letters
Letters to C. R. List
Letters to boring jerks on the C. R. List
Letters to Raoul D.
You get the idea ! Be creative ! Enjoy your freedom !
PLUS , if you only get into your e-mail program after you are all done composing , and only connect to the internet when you are ready to send and receive , you MAY reduce the over-taxing of your machine's memory .
Here's to a happier tomorrow !
