Your best bet would be upgrading. it's not very expensive, and does give you more hard disk space, I would recommend upgrading. According to Apple this is a feature/enhancement in leopard: http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html Hi Barry, I have found the same as Jack, that this is a feature only in Snow Leopard (10.6).

I have found a suggestion that I have to turn this on manually through entering instructions in Terminal some where called Macosxhints but I dont know how to enter teh code into Terminal which comes up with logged on barrysack etc So I am a little lost! Any help would be appreciated greatly Thanks Barry Barry Sack I am operating OSX 10.5.8

Here's a couple things to try: 1) Another way to get the option is to start a new mail message and go to the menu bar, click on "Edit" and down towards the bottom of the list of options you should see "Special Characters", "Speech", "Transformations", "Substituions". Click the Substituions option and you should then be able to follow these instructions. 2) It could be that your version of OS X or Mail doesn't have this option. What version of OS X are you running? Feel free to email me [russds . at . gmail.com] if this doesn't work out. I can also send you a screen shot of the "Transformations" option as it appears to me. (10.6.2) Thanks! Hi Berry, I’m not exactly sure why you’re not seeing the options. Here’s a couple things to try:

Am I nuts? Or does OSX not have this pre loaded? Any guidance appreciated thanks Barry I have followed your instructions religiously, and have checked every possible drop down menu in Mail and I definitely do not have a
