Saving an e-mail to send later
Sometimes you start an e-mail message but don't have time to finish it. When that happens, you can
save it as a draft and finish it some other time. Here's how:
1.
Start an e-mail message, as described in one of the two previous sections.
2.
When you're ready to save the message as a draft, tap the Cancel button in the upper-
left corner of the screen.
3.
Tap the Save Draft button if you want to save this message as a draft and complete it
another time.
If you tap the Delete Draft button, the message disappears immediately without a
second chance. Don't tap Delete Draft unless you mean it.
To work on the message again, tap the Drafts mailbox. A list of all messages you saved as drafts ap-
pears. Tap the draft you want to work on, and it reappears on the screen. When you're finished, you
can tap Send to send it or tap Cancel to save it as a draft again.
The number of drafts appears to the right of the Drafts folder, the same way that the
number of unread messages appears to the right of other mail folders, such as your inbox.
Replying to, forwarding, or printing an e-mail message
When you receive a message and want to reply to it, open the message and then tap the Action but-
ton (the curved arrow at the upper-right corner of the screen, as shown in Figure
5-12
)
. Then tap the
Reply, Reply All, Forward, or Print button, described as follows:
Reply and Reply All:
The Reply button creates an e-mail message addressed to the sender of
the original message, with the content of that original message embedded in your reply. The
Reply All button creates an e-mail message addressed to the sender and all other recipients of
the original message, plus Ccs. (The Reply All option appears only if more than one recipient
was on the original e-mail.) In both cases, the subject is retained with a
Re:
prefix added. So
if the original subject were
iPad Tips,
the reply's subject would be
Re: iPad Tips.
Forward:
Tapping the Forward button creates an unaddressed e-mail message that contains
the text of the original message. Add the e-mail address(es) of the person or people you want
to forward the message to, and then tap Send. In this case, rather than a
Re:
prefix, the subject
is preceded by
Fwd:.
So this time, the subject would be
Fwd: iPad Tips.
Print:
Of course, you'd tap Print if you wanted to print using an AirPrint-capable printer.
