I saved a draft of a long email.

I now wish to open the draft to proof read it and send it.

With the latest version of Thunderbird I cannot find any way to access and open the save draft.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Peter

I could not remember exactly how I recalled saved message. I did try right clicking without success. It simply never occurred to me to double left click.

Thanks for your guidance

There should be a draft folder accessible.

Thank you David.

Unfortunately this is not quite the problem

I can see and save to the draft folder.

What I am unable to do and what over the years I have done many times is to open this saved email and continue.

I have no idea the last time I did this but it wasn't many months ago.

So, you can see the message in draft, but when you double-click or right-click, nothing happens? I am having difficulty understanding specifically what the problem is. Thank you.
