First, in Mail, you tap on the reply/forward button for a message and then choose Reply, Reply All, or Forward. You can also use Wide Email to reply to a message or to add text to a forwarded message, although the process requires a few more steps. You then enter an address and send the message from within Mail. Once you’re done composing an e-mail message in Wide Email, you just tap the Send To Mail button and the message and subject are transferred to a new e-mail message in Mail (where you can further edit the message, if necessary). (Alternatively, you can switch to portrait mode, which displays eight slightly narrower lines of text.)
The downside to keeping the subject line visible, instead of scrolling with the message, is that only four lines of message-body text are visible you have to scroll up or down to view the whole message. It provides a subject field for your message that remains visible as you compose your message and is transferred to Mail along with the message. Wide Email from LizzardWerks lets you compose e-mail in landscape or portrait mode. All support the iPhone’s built-in auto-correct feature all but one work only with Mail and none work with the special e-mail messages created by the Photos app for sending photos via e-mail (as those messages are actually created and sent from within the Photos app rather than via Mail). I took a look at six landscape-mode e-mail-composition apps, testing them with the US English keyboard with English as the system language. However, the apps differ in features and capabilities. What all these apps have in common is that they give you a text-entry screen with a landscape-mode keyboard for typing an e-mail message when you’re done typing that message, you tap a button to switch to Mail, where your message is pasted into the body of an e-mail message. But thanks to the App Store, a number of third-party developers have provided workarounds. More than a year after that iPhone debut, Apple still hasn’t added such a feature to Mail. Composing e-mail is easily the most-common example after all, with the exception of those in the SMS crowd, more typing time is spent in Mail than in any other app. Users got a taste of this wider, larger-button keyboard in the mobile version of Safari and wished they could use it for text entry in other scenarios. Since Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007, a frequent complaint among users has been the lack of a landscape keyboard in more applications.
