Composing a New Message
How to Compose a complete message
To compose a new message you will need to add recipient(s) to your message, a subject describing your message and optionaly any attachments and the body of the message.
To add a recipient(s) click on the TO: CC: button. This will open the
Recipient window. Note that the Attach button
is the same as clicking on the TO: CC: button.
Once you have added recipient(s) to your message you need to type in the subject
of the message. Click on the string gadget besides the Subject: text and enter the
message subject.
Next press the TAB key to move the cursor down to the textfield gadget and type
the body of the message. When you are done composing your message you can select
Queue to queue the message in the Out Box or select the Send button to send the
message right of way.
Note: Do not Queue or Send an incomplete message. Incomplete message is when there is no recipient. You need atleast one recipient.
