I found simply spell checking it after it's pasted into Earthlink  eliminated 
the little boxes for apostrophes and the like.  After I lost  everything 
recently, all the stuff I had been hanging onto disappeared anyway so  I don't 
care if I keep it or not.  The impermanence of all  things.

I agree, Irene.  A few years ago I was using an  inferior email system.  I can
’t remember its name, but it wasn’t very  good; so I would copy & paste the 
message I wished to respond to into  WordPerfect.  I would then write my 
responses and use the WordPerfect  spell check, etc.  Then I would copy and 
paste 
it back into the inferior  email utility and send it.  I would then delete the 
WordPerfect text  without saving it.   
This approach worked well from my standpoint.  I  could do it fairly swiftly; 
however someone with an older system complained  that my messages appeared in 
his inbox with strange code marks in them and did  a couple of weird things 
like convert “ to ?, maybe I wouldn’t have had that  problem if I’d used 
Word 
at the time, but I used WordPerfect.  I now use  Microsoft Outlook which lets 
me use the Word 2003 Word Processor to prepare  messages – the best of both 
worlds.

Can you compose in Word and copy and paste?  Copy  the original message, pas
te it into Word, respond, then copy and paste back  into gmail (I never used 
it, don't know what it is).  After the computer  problems I had, I think Word 
is 
better anyway because it can be saved onto a  thumb drive.  I don't save 
anything in the computer anymore.   Copying and pasting isn't the most 
convenient, 
that's true, but I hate to see  you go, and saving outside the computer does 
have its  advantages.
