Hello John.

As you say one has to be signed in to I Cloud, bluetooth enabled etc, but, 
let’s say when I see the hand off badge in my Mac be it the Mac mini or I Mac, 
both devices respectively, I Mac, late 2012 and Mac Mini 2014, the latest one 
out.  So I locate my mail which is hand off, but I can’t find the message that 
I might be composing which I stopped writing using my I Phone 6 plus.  I hope 
you understand what I am saying, I get the Hand off Icon and get into the 
program such as mail but can’t locate my message that I’m composing.  Any ideas?

Kawal.
