Hi Victor You asked about reading google digests on the Mac. This isn't for the Mac but the best way I have found to read these particular messages. I haven't done this for a little while now as I am currently getting individual messages but by far the best way was on an IOS device for me. If

Hi Anne. Surely the fact that you feel the need to use a different program to read through a document then to edit it highlights the fact that there may be some shortcomings in the software. As a very new user of the Mac I don't want to make any assertions about the effectiveness of the produ
