It just means the memory in the iOS device needs to be refreshed. Turn the device off and then on again and the email will disappear. Basically, it's an artefact from fragmented memory. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone On

Hi NIcky, Your instructions are good. One thing I would add is that you can touch near the middle of the first screen to get into the text of the file, rather than needing to work your way down from the top. This can save some time. HTH, Anna On Apr 6, 2013, at 10:51 AM, Nicola Sanders
