Edit a mail message before sending

How do I edit an email in Mail while spell-checking? Sounds simple, but my stupidity means I can't find out how to do it.
Here's my scenario: I write a message, hit send and it brings up the spellchecker. Then while doing the spellcheck, I realise that I want to add or alter something in the email. So I come out of the spellchecker, either by closing it or just clicking on the body of the message, and try to edit the email. But when I then click in to the text I want to change and hit a key, any key it seems. the email just sends - doesn't give an opportunity to make those changes.
This has to be something so obvious that I will cringe with embarrassment when I read the answer, but I hope someone will take pity on me and give me the answer!
Thanks to that person!
BTW, the thing is I only started using Mail a short while ago, having been a confirmed Thunderbird user...

Hi Lavakumar,
Based on my knowledge, getting an alert before sending messages can't be achieved by Exchange Server.
I would like to know what your purpose is. If you want to avoid users from sending wrong messages, recall feature can help them when they send wrong messages.
For more information about recall, here is a helpful thread for your reference.
Recall or replace an email message that you sent

    Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
    You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive.

    How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

    Hi ,
    I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
    You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
    Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
    Thanks.

  • Droid X, review lengthy text message before sending?

    When composing a long text message I find it very difficult to review the entire message before sending it. Is there a way to do this that is not obvious? I have tried scrolling line by line and I end up changing words unintentionally. Holding your finger over the text pops out a magnifying glass, but even that is not very useful.

    Unfortunately there is not an option within the device to change to make viewing your text messages any easier. You will have to scroll through the message. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Change mail message from sender before forwaring message

    How can I change/adapt the orignal message from sender before replying or forwarding

    In what way, like edit the original message?
    You cannot, from within the native software.
    You'll need a third party application such as ForwardWithEdit to do so, and that can be found in the Fixmo Tools application... for one place.

  • Deleting Mail Messages Before They Open

    Is there a way to delete an email message BEFORE it opens (to avoid potential viruses)?

    This help doc http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21164?viewlocale=en_us explains that there is a difference between looking at a message in the preview pane and actually opening it. If you're only using the preview pane and delete it, it was never actually opened.

  • Mail delays before sending messages

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Mail has the annoying habit of no longer sending outgoing messages right away.  Rather they are placed in the que in the outgoing mailbox and sometime later they are all sent. I liked the immediate send better in the earlier versions of the OS.  Is there anyway to go back to an immediate send version?
    Thank you.

  • Show HTML Message Before Send..

    Hi All,
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am losing sleep, my hair, my
    sanity and any respect I had for groupwise... ; )
    Ok, heres the deal... I am trying to send a HTML formatted EMail
    programmatically using groupwise that the user will be able to edit
    before it is sent...
    I have tried several methods all without success...
    1) I create the Email using Groupware Object Model, attach a file called
    Text.htm. The file is correctly used as the HTML body but then if I
    attempt to show the mail to the user with Groupwise tokens all of the
    address fields (To, CC, BC) are reset???!!!
    2) If I create the whole mail using Tokens there is no way to Set the
    HTML body. If I attach the Text.Htm file then it is not treated as the
    HTML body, it is just shown as a normal attachment!!!
    3) If I use MAPI the TEXT.htm file is not treated as the HTML body and
    there is no way to set the HTML text via the MAPI Api.
    I just want to create a HTML formatted EMail from code... So far I have
    had to use 3 different API's and I am still no further forward.
    Thanks...

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your respone, don't worry on the spelling I am exactly the
    same. Many times I have sent a post only to read it back wincing...
    I notice that the 2 posts have re-appeared, bizarre.
    With regard to your suggestion, can you elaborate?
    In case 1, where I can get the HTML attached to the mail whenever I use
    Groupwise tokens to show the mail for editing it resets all of the address
    fields. Even if I manually fill these in it looses the HTML attachment. If
    I re-attach it using tokens it is treated just as a normal attachment (IE
    is not used as the HTML body). So basically I am stuck at this point. Are
    you suggesting that I write or use another HTML/EMail editor external to
    Groupwise and then just use Groupwise to send the Email?
    I must say that I would have thought that this was a pretty common
    requirement. Has no one at Novell on anywhere else done this before using
    Groupwise?
    Thanks,
    Dhugal.

  • Show Message Before Send?

    Hi All,
    I think this is my last question (At least I hope so)...
    I am using the Groupwise objects to generate an EMail from my application
    which works fine, however I would like to show the EMail to the user
    before it is sent.
    So I programmatically create the EMail then I would like to open the
    EMail in the Groupwise interface, allow the user to edit it, and when
    they are happy click send.
    Can anyone advise me on how to do this please?
    Thanks,
    Dhugal.

    No you'd have to keep using token api to fill it in (itemsettext and such)
    There's no object connection between the two.

  • Microsoft Outlook truncates messagies before sending (Outlook Connector)

    Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.
    It seems to be "Autosave problem". That Outlook sends LAST DRAFT auto saved message version?
    When Outlook autosave is set OFF, composing and sending works fine.
    Problem appears on different workstations: Windows XP, Windows VISTA, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007....
    Does anybody knows solution for this? Or this is server configuration problem?

    >
    In future please provide the exact version of Outlook Connector that you are running.
    Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.This sounds like a known issue that was fixed some time ago:
    bug #6441043 - "after autosave and continue to edit text is lost".
    Can you reproduce this problem with the latest version of Outlook Connector (OC7.3 - 139162-01) which can be downloaded via sunsolve.sun.com?

  • BPEL- To split XML message before sending

    I get Orders -XML from ERP System , and I am sending this XML data to external system(using web services).
    So, if one or more Orders fail to validate, then none of them get into Database.
    Using a loop by sending each Order at a time is the best way?
    Thanks
    Edited by: user13374451 on Sep 14, 2010 2:45 PM

    Oh yes we can achieve this. I did it in one of my processes. Probably this is what you can do.
    1. Take a count variable and based on your required count the number of time you need to send the XML content. In my case, I was receiving many protocol informations in a single XML payload and I had to call the web service for each of these protocols. So say if i had 5 protocols in my XML, I need to break it into 5 and post it to the Web service 5 times.
    2. Take a while loop and use increment counter.
    3. break the XML code for each of your entry using incrememtn count variable like this /ns5:NewDataset/LotCountryReleaseMessage[bpws:getVariableData("IncrementCount")] and copy it to another variable (which is of same structure).
    4. Increment count value.
    5. Post it to ur target. This way, the web service is called for each of your entry.
    Let me know if this was clear.
    Thanks,
    Gautham
