Saving a Draft of a Message

  Saving a message lets you begin writing a message now and
  continue working on it later.  If you are creating a long mail
  message, it is advisable to save the message occasionally.

  To save a draft of a message:

  1.  Choose Save As...  from the File menu.

      A dialog box is displayed, prompting you for the name of
      the draft message.

  2.  Enter a name of 39 characters or fewer.

      By default, the file type DRAFT is appended to the file
      name and the file is stored in your default directory.  If
      you specify a different file type or directory, Mail will not
      list this file when you request a list of your draft files.

  3.  Click on the OK button to save the draft message.

  The message can be sent or canceled after it has been saved.

  Saved draft messages are OpenVMS files and cannot be
  deleted through Mail.  You can delete draft messages by using
  the Session Manager's FileView application.
