      Can I use multiple names from the address book?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      Yes.  The address book search will display all matches for the 
      search criteria entered in the search box.  If 10 names are displayed 
      any combination may be selected for either the <B>To:</B> or <B>CC:</B> 
      fields.  All selected addresses will be inserted into the proper 
      filed when the Use Address button is pressed.

      Can I add names directly to the address book from a email?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      No.  At this time you cannot add names directly from a received email 
      to the address book.  You can, however, right click on the address and 
      save it to the clipboard and paste this into the address book.  Try 
      not to be disappointed.  SquirrelMail is under continual development 
      and this might be included in the future in one form or another.

      What is webmail?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      In SquirrelMail's case it gives you access through the IMAP protocol 
      to your email account.  This means that you don't have to figure out how 
      to setup someone else's stuff just to check your mail.

      Where can I use this webmail?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      Any where there is a browser available.
      Wireless access (WAP/WML) is not on the drawing board at this time though.

      Why use webmail instead of a regular email client?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      It is doubtful that webmail will ever be a complete substitute for 
      a regular email client.  But hey, who knows?  Anyway, If you ever 
      were at a friends house, on a trip, at home or work and away from 
      your computer and wanted to check your mail you already know why.
      Because it is a huge hassle to set your mail up on their computer 
      and then delete it again.  SquirrelMail is designed to be a supplement
      to your normal email client.

      How does this stuff work?
   </title>
   <description>
      <p>
      SquirrelMail uses the IMAP protocol, info on it can be found 
      <A HREF="http://imap.org"/>here</A>.  The program also uses 
      its own IMAP functions, not those built in to PHP4.  This won't 
      matter to anybody except those responsible for installing it, 
      but trust us when we say they appreciate it.
