Hi,
but since the subject clearly states what the message is about, wouldn’t those
not interested just have deleted it anyway?

>>
>> Of course, you can move addresses to any of the fields, from BCC to CC, TO
>> to CC, whatever. Beats typing out an address again, doesn't it?

>>
>>

>> space that shows up in iTunes.
>>
>> 3: See More Emails Per Mail Screen
>> This setting displays more emails per screen in Mail app by adjusting the

>>
>> In Settings, go to "Mail, Calendar, Contacts" and choose "Preview"

>>
>>
>> Notice how this differs from the previous tip, in that more emails are
>> visible on each mail screen, but it has no impact on the total number of
>> emails shown in an inbox without accessing the server again.
>>
>> 4: Quickly Access All Saved Drafts
>> There is a super quick way to access saved email drafts in iOS:
>>
>> Tap and hold on the Compose icon to jump to the Drafts folder
>>
>>
>> This accesses all drafts, whether they were created and saved on the iPhone
>> or iPad, or on a remote server or webmail client like Gmail. This very handy
>> feature was introduced a while ago and retains full functionality in Mail
>> app for iOS 7. Use it, you'll appreciate it!
>>
>> 5: Bulk Manage Groups of Emails: Mark as Read, Unread, Delete
>> Managing a group of multiple emails is easy in iOS Mail app, but it may not
>> be immediately obvious to all users:
>>
>> From the mailbox you want to adjust, tap on "Edit" then tap each mail
>> message you want to adjust so that it's highlighted with a checkmark
>> Tap on "Move" to send the emails to the Trash for bulk deleting, or to
>> another inbox
>> Tap on "Mark" to flag the emails as spam, or mark as read or unread
>>
>>
>> This is very helpful if you've gotten a barrage of messages that are either
>> unimportant or just need to mark as read, or when you need to Trash a bunch
>> of them that are clogging up your inbox.
>>
>> 6: Increase Font Size to Read Email Content Easier
>> The text size of emails is pretty small by default, and even those of us
>> with moderately decent eyesight can have a hard time reading through long
>> messages at such a tiny font size. Fortunately, it's really easy to increase
>> the size of the email text to something much more legible:
>>
>> Open Settings, then go to "General" and "Accessibility"
>> Tap on "Large Text" (iOS 6) or "Larger Type" (iOS 7) and choose a size
>> better for your needs
>>
>>
>> Something to consider with this option is that it will also increase the
>> font size shown in text messages and iMessages within Messages app, which is
>> actually really nice and makes those messages much easier to read as well.
>>
>> 7: Reply to Portion of Email with Smart Quotes
>> Smart Quotes are a little-used feature of iOS Mail app that let you reply to
>> just a specific portion of an email, and they're very easy to use:
>>
>> Tap and select any portion of an email to include in the reply, then tap the
>> "Reply" button as usual
>>
>> The new email message will now only contain the portion of the email you
>> selected, rather than the entire thing.
>>
>> 8: Ditch or Modify the "Sent from my iPhone" Signature
>> The default signature for emails sent from any iOS device identifies that
>> device as "Sent from my iPhone" or "Sent from my iPad". If you want to
>> change it or delete it, it's quite simple:
>>
>> Open Settings, then go to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
>> Tap on "Signature" to modify or delete it
>>
>>
>> We generally recommend keeping these signatures for a variety of reasons,
>> including the brevity expectation, but if you want to delete it or modify
>> it, it's easy enough to change back.
>>
>> 9: Insert Pictures Into Emails Faster with a Tap
>> You can easily insert a picture or two into an email message just by doing
>> the following:
>>
>> Tap and hold in the message body, and choose "Insert Photo or Video" to find
>> the picture or movie to attach
>>
>>
>> Images can be inserted anywhere into email messages this way, and it's much
>> much easier than poking around in the Photos app to create a new email from
>> there, or using the copy and paste method to place images into emails.
>>
>> 10: Compose & Send a Quick Email with Siri
>> Don't want to type out an email message, or maybe you're hands are busy?
>> Siri can write it for you using a simple mail composition command:
>>
>> Summon Siri and say "Write an email to [recipient name] about [subject] and
>> say [message body]
>>
>>
>> This is really helpful in situations where your hands need to be mostly free
>> and you can't spend time looking at your iPhone or iPad screen, whether
>> that's
>> because you're just occupied doing something else, riding a bike, walking,
>> or maybe you just hate typing on the touch screens.
