My iPod shuffle 4th generation yellow status light is flashing. What does this mean?

Hi Kenichi, That's not a bad idea. I tried it, I selected an email message, went to FILE > SAVE AS > text to desktop. I had three choices - Rich Text Format, or Plain Text, or Raw Message Source. I left it on Rich Text Format, but it did not save to PAGES, it saved into TEXT EDIT, a program I don't like.

Also, if you Reply to an email message, in the window for composing the reply, the DATE can be highlighted. :: this is the best idea yet. I tried it and it works and I think it will save me time - I won't have to type the date, I'll just have to take out parts of the header I don't want (or just leave it as is if I want to change from keeping only the date and sender's name). THANK YOU so much.

"FYI - This topic thread is yours, because you started it. Once I posted a reply to the topic, Apple's forum system has me "following" the thread. So, if you (or anyone else) posts a new comment to the thread, I get an email notice."

Yes, but what if I have a new topic, and thus I have to post a new thread?

"I think you can right-click on the RTF file in Finder, then Open With -> Pages."

This means I have to go through the steps to Save As the RTF file onto Finder first, and then right-click etc.

I think it might be faster for me to use your second suggestion - Reply to the email message and copy what I need from the original message that appears below where I'm supposed to write my reply. Great idea. Thanks.
