With this feature, you can send messages to different people
7
from within SquirrelMail.
11
The Compose menu choice will take you to a new Compose page.
12
Here you will find several fields and a couple of buttons.
13
Depending on how you got to the compose view, some of these
14
fields may already be filled in.
24
<p>The <B>From:</B> field will only be displayed if you have enabled multiple
25
identities (through the Options, Personal Preferences menu). If you've done
26
so you can choose which identity you want to use, i.e. which name and
27
email address appear as the From-line of your message.
38
Next is the <B>To:</B> field. In this field you should
39
enter the email address of the person or persons you are sending a
40
message to. You may enter as many addresses as you like, separating
41
them with a comma. One may also press the "Addresses" button to fill
42
in the field. Don't worry if the entire address is not displayed.
43
The field is a fixed length, but everything you put in it will be used,
44
even though it might scroll to the right or left.
55
Next is the <B>CC:</B> field. CC is an abbreviation for <B>C</B>arbon
56
<B>C</B>opy. If you wish to send someone else a copy of the message
57
here is where you would do that. Think of this in the same way a memo
58
is laid out. You can have as many people as you like in the <B>To:</B>,
59
<B>CC:</B>, and <B>BCC:</B> fields. Only the people to whom the message
60
has direct impact would be in the <B>To:</B> field while recipients to
61
whom this is possibly only informative would be in the <B>CC:</B> and
73
BCC is an abbreviation for <B>B</B>lind <B>C</B>arbon <B>C</B>opy.
74
Use this to send someone a copy of the email <I>without</I> the
75
recipients in the <B>To:</B> or <B>CC:</B> fields knowing about it.
86
Type in a relevant heading here. Remember, email can be a great time
87
saver and an accurate subject line is one big reason.
98
This button will open the address book after a search box is presented.
99
Something must be entered in the search box to retrieve a result.
100
If all addresses in the address book are required, press the List All button.
101
The address book has enough functionality
102
that it deserves its own section. More detailed information is
103
available in the "Addresses" chapter.
114
If you've been composing a message but for some reason aren't ready
115
to send it yet, you can use this button to save the message in the
116
Drafts folder. If later you want to finish the message and send it out,
117
go to the Drafts folder, open the message and you will return to the
118
compose page with your message filled in.
129
If enabled by your system administrator, at the right of the
130
buttons a drop down list "Priority" is available. Here you can
131
select, surprisingly, the priority of this message. A high-priority
132
message might be presented in a different way by the recepient's
133
mail program. Note that excessive use of this function will devalue its
145
The large empty box is for whatever you want to put there. If a
146
signature file has been saved it will appear here as well. This is
147
where you type the body of your message.
158
Located at the bottom of the Compose page, this feature allows you to
159
include a file with your email. The file must be located on your
160
<I>local</I> machine or network to be attached. A browse button is
161
present so you may search through your directory structure and click
162
on the file to include. Alternatively you may type directly into the
163
attach field if you know the full path and exact file name. Simply
164
press the Add button to list the selected file as an attachment and it
168
Once at least one file is presented for attachment another button is
169
revealed. Deletion of one or more attached files is accomplished by
170
selecting the offending file or files and pressing the delete selected
