Using the Save As Dialog Box The Save As dialog box prompts you for the name of the draft message. 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 does not list this file when you request a list of your draft files. Click on the OK button to save the message, or click on the Cancel button to cancel the save operation.
