If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer (and this also works for some other browsers), you can right-click on the hyperlink to the body of the message.

Once you've read the message, close that window, and the 'main' screen will still be there, removing the need to re-load it.If your question has not been answered, by the above, please use the e-mail facility below to send your query to the netwebmaster at Hemscott for resolution.
