    Learned so much, and the presentation was efficient and clear. I had a problem understanding #6--Signatures. I'll re-watch and see if it's clearer next time around. One problem I've run up against is while in the email program, sometimes my mouse resizes the size of the pane and I can't stop it. How can I stop that? Again, great presentation.

I have had that happen to me several times from one of my contacts and wondered if there is a setting for that. Thank you!
