Hi. Everytime I delete draft messages they all still go to the originally intended recipient. I DEFINITELY am pressing Delete, not send. Has caused embarrassment at times. This happening to anyone else? Any suggestions? Thanks! <

don't use Draft Messages??????

If you must do draft, do it on your computer, then c&p into the message box to be sent immediately

Never add the address till the last minute! And Sylvia is right to suggest c&p for replies where the address is already there

Researching:
Dominy & Croom in Dorset, Rutherford & McElhatton in Northumberland. Dendy and Thorp

Thank you Elizabeth and Sylvia. These are usually to folk I message a lot in my family and friends section so I don't usually put an address. I am shocked that all my drafts have been sent out willy nilly after deletion! So you recommend doing them on my pc first? would that be as emails or word documents?

I think I would do them as word documents and then just copy and paste when you are ready to send a message.

I must admit that I never save messages as drafts myself.
