Question on DU mail.

How do you go about responding? Do you keep the text of the original mail received when you respond or delete it? Is there any confirmation of your response? Thank you in advance for any help.

I'll send you one if you like so you can see for yourself.

The DU4 version includes formatting like a regular post.

The received message is always intact. (Unless you delete it )

DU mail seems to be reliably delivered. I don't know what happens when someone blocks persons.

No confirmation.

Give it a try. You can cancel any time, or just leave or close the web page as well. Nothing goes out until or unless you hit SEND.

There is a copy of the sent mail in your "sent mail " mailbox. Look for it.

I like to keep the previous text in the mail. and I reply at the top adding a few spaces so the string can be read bottom to top. the system adds > as replies are continued. example:
