Thank you, Richard, I meant to mention that factoid, but forgot. Must be lunchtime!
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 12:10 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] E-mail issues Hi Sara and Paul, and all, Sara has pointed out the main things, but one little additional tip for Paul and anyone else dealing with a lot of e-mail. If you jump to the end of the e-mails and work backwards, when you delete a message, it happens very quickly. If you delete a message near the beginning of a large amount of e-mail, it takes a long time because (I presume) the BrailleNote is re-sorting the messages. Whereas, if you delete one at the end, it doesn't have to sort them. I hope that makes sense.
