I personally would love some instruction on deleting, copying etc? Also I
have heard that we should turn off signature lines, and I have no idea what
they are even talking about. I learned when I was in school that no
question should be made fun of, and somehow I think many of us have returned
to first grade.Thanks for any help and education you pass on.
