Hi Mike-
I took your advice, made up a dummy New Mail Action, did a Save As and saved it in
Claris Emailer Folder under a folder called Mail Actions Sample as well as saving a
duplicate on my HD Desktop. However I cannot put this file back in the Mail Actions
Window, nor open it from within Emailer. How come?
I cannot drag it to the Mail Actions Window for when I leave Emailer by selecting or
highlighting this file in the place where I saved it, I lose the Emailer windows.
Maybe it is because I only have Emailer 2.0.
regards,
doug
