Re: email typing edits

Are you using a laptop with a touchpad? If so, go into its 'mouse' driver
settings in Control Panel, enable "Palm Check", and a setting that disables
cursor movement while typing.

How can I completely remove the edits while I'm creating an email? If I try
to insert a character, the whole word or phrase is highlited. Sometimes when
I'm typing the cursor will skip to a previous line and start replacing what I
had already typed or chop off snd move something. I want it to act dumber -
like a typewriter where it only does what I specifically 'tell' it to do.
When I try to position a cursor, I want it ONLY to do that.
