How To Create and Use a Draft Template in Mail on a Mac

I wrote this note on how to create a Template in the Desktop version of Mail on a Mac at the beginning of 2007 but it still seems valid. In fact, it is also relevant to using Mail on the iPhone. Currently, I notice that if I create a draft on the Desktop version of Mail, the Draft is *not* shared via MobileMe to the web nor the iPhone versions of Mail; even though the 'Store draft messages on the server' is checked in Mail Preferences. Drafts created in either web Mail or iPhone Mail *are* synced and available to both these versions of Mail. One way to get a Desktop Draft onto the iPhone (or the web) is to move the Draft to a Mailbox folder then copy the text from the synced email in the Mailbox on the iPhone but it shouldn't be necessary.

Create a draft or template Mail message

• Open MailClick New button (File > New Message)

• Create the template contents in a new email message.
• Click Save As Draft button (File > Save as Draft)
• If desired: Move the draft message to a different mailbox folder e.g. a new one named Templates. (see note 2 and 3)

Mac Shave Pro - The Best A Mac Can Get

I could not bear the sharp front edge of the unibody MacBook Pro 13" to such an extend that I took my mini wood plane to it. Much better.
I see it as a design *fault* to not consider the function of the front edge of the notebook, given the size of adult male's hands, as a point on which the hand rests.
