I'd like to suggest saving a draft version of a PM I'm working on. I may not be able to finish it for some reason. I don't want to have to retype it.

I may need to search for something that I want to put in the message, like a link or something. So, I want to save that until I find it. Also, because I use a public computer sometimes, I can't simply save it in Word or something, then copy it back.

You can always open more than one window in PC and have your pm in one window and use the other for researching and copy/pasting.

I suppose you can always pm your draft to yourself and keep a copy that way....then go in and copy/paste it to the member you want to send it to and finish that way?

Those are the only other work arounds I can think of for you.

Okay....other people make suggestions and they get the "great idea". I put something and get naysayers. WHY? (rhetorical question)

I know about opening multiple windows. But I can't "always" open more than one window. It depends on what computer I'm using, as I don' t(gasp!) have a computer at home and usually use public ones. They cannot always handle opening multiple windows. It will run really, really slow (with a time limit to boot), freeze, or just crash. They don't always have the latest version of IE either.

Okay, if it can't be done, then I can only write PM's on my friend's computer, which is of high quality with a fast connection.
