I think it's a case of the tools available. Unless I'm at my home PC, email is accessed through Yahoo's web-mail interface. Reading isn't *too* bad, but replying is done through a rather cute little window that displays 15 lines at once. Moving up and down through even a mere 600-line message takes a lot of time.
You're right though, I should learn to use keyboard short-cuts more often. And sit properly. It would all be better for me. I wonder if using ctrl-F, and pasting the message title I want to find as a search string would work...?
And soon (I hope) I'll have to learn to do all this through a PDA and a mobile phone connection. Yet more joys: but if the alternative is being cut off for a week ...!!! (shudder!)
