Working With Messages in the Draft Folder

As you learned in the previous task, you can save an email message in draft form in the Draft folder. Later you can work with the message and continue saving draft versions in the Draft folder. When you are ready to mail it, you can open it, make final revisions, then send it to your recipients.

Tip: Each time you revise and save a message in the Draft folder, a new version is created and the older versions remain. Unless you change the subject, each draft has the same subject.
