I love reading mail on the I phone with a braille display. I prefer how it is displayed on an I phone rather than the Mac. I have to shift tab to delete a message, i.e., make sure I'm on the messaging table. I hate when mail comes in on to the Mac as you may have read three or four threads or in the middle of reading a thread and your cursor has gone back to the beginning of a thread. It makes me very annoyed. This doesn't happen on my I phone. Just my comments but I'm not complaining!
