Windows Mail

I hope someone can help but I have tried everything I can think of..i went to
my storage folder, I did a document search under the subject title of the
mail and the document title.
Okay, I sent a document to a friend and asked her to make some changes or
suggestions; she sent it back to me with suggestions and I added them -
forgetting that I opened the document from windows mail, i made my changes
and clicked save but I, for the life of me, have no idea where it saved. I
have the original document but not the document with the changes made.
I remember the prompt,"Save changes made to document" and I clicked "yes" so
I am pretty sure it had to be saved somewhere - it's not in the "file
destination for windows mail.

Re: Windows Mail

As has been advised here many times, *never* edit a document by
opening it from an email attachment. Always save the attachment first,
then open that saved file outside of Windows Mail.

The attachment you edited may be somewhere in the directory
"Temporary Internet Files".

Re: Windows Mail

well thank you for your help but i apologize that I do not hang out on here
all day every day to take notice of the posts I might have missed such as the
one you mention has been advised several times.

I looked for some help on this subject for over an hour today and I still
did not see anything about that; nonetheless, I already know this...it was
accident that I edited it from the email; i walked away and came back and by
that time I forgot I had opened up there but...nevermind

Re: Windows Mail

Sorry for your loss.
The lessons we learn the hard way are often remembered the best.
