This is to relate a minor problem when using GMAIL, which is a WWW based client system. As a mail messages is composed, GMAIL graciously copies typed entries to a Draft maintained on the mail server. At least some of the times, this slows the System down because of pauses on the typing screen during online traffic A bypass to this problem is to compose the message using some purely local text editor. Then the message can be copied into the Gmail compose screen afterward. MarvS
