Hello. I'm afraid, I need original messages to know what has been discussed as I read mail as it comes in if the topic is interesting. As I travel about, meaning that I'm at work most of the time as I work full time, I have to read all what I read as quickly as possible as I don't think my superiors would like to see me stuck to my I phone, so I do it discretely using my Apex so please don't tell on me! I delete all that I've read so if I did not have the original message I'd not know what was being discussed.
