Yep, there it is. Gosh, that's tucked away, isn't it. I'm sure you've had
to point that out to all us "non readers of manuals" before.

Copied a Drawing from Works and Pasted in a Plain Note. Went to email and a
Magic menu popped up offering GIF.

I would definitely love to see more of that menu In other places.

Like a bell, Simon!

Now to find a reliable SMTP server. Yahoo keeps threatening to cut off my
non - SSL access for my Newton, not that it would be all that bad... but,
you must know how convenient (and Retro) it is to handwrite replies to
emails, while sitting in my Living Room.

I really like my Newton and Mail V!

Thanks Simon!
