With this feature, you can send messages to different people
|

from within SquirrelMail.

The Compose menu choice will take you to a new Compose page.
|
|
Here you will find several fields and a couple of buttons.
|
|
Depending on how you got to the compose view, some of these
|
|
fields may already be filled in.

<p>The <b>From:</b> field will only be displayed if you have enabled multiple
|
|
identities (through the Options, Personal Preferences menu). If you've done
|
|
so you can choose which identity you want to use, i.e. which name and
|
|
email address appear as the From-line of your message.

Next is the <b>To:</b> field. In this field you should
|
|
enter the email address of the person or persons you are sending a
|
|
message to. You may enter as many addresses as you like, separating
|
|
them with a comma. One may also press the "Addresses" button to fill
|
|
in the field. Don't worry if the entire address is not displayed.
|
|
The field is a fixed length, but everything you put in it will be used,
|
|
even though it might scroll to the right or left.

<p>
|
|
Next is the <b>CC:</b> field. CC is an abbreviation for <b>C</b>arbon
|
|
<b>C</b>opy. If you wish to send someone else a copy of the message
|
|
here is where you would do that. Think of this in the same way a memo
|
|
is laid out. You can have as many people as you like in the <b>To:</b>,
|
|
<b>CC:</b>, and <b>BCC:</b> fields. Only the people to whom the message
|
|
has direct impact would be in the <b>To:</b> field while recipients to
|
|
whom this is possibly only informative would be in the <b>CC:</b> and
|
|
<b>BCC:</b> fields.

BCC is an abbreviation for <b>B</b>lind <b>C</b>arbon <b>C</b>opy.
|
|
Use this to send someone a copy of the email <i>without</i> the
|
|
recipients in the <b>To:</b> or <b>CC:</b> fields knowing about it.

Addresses Button
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This button will open the address book after a search box is presented.
|
|
Something must be entered in the search box to retrieve a result.
|
|
If all addresses in the address book are required, press the List All button.
|
|
The address book has enough functionality
|
|
that it deserves its own section. More detailed information is
|
|
available in the "Addresses" chapter.

Save Draft button

|

<p>
|
|
If you've been composing a message but for some reason aren't ready
|
|
to send it yet, you can use this button to save the message in the
|
|
Drafts folder. If later you want to finish the message and send it out,
|
|
go to the Drafts folder, open the message and you will return to the
|
|
compose page with your message filled in.

<p>
|

If enabled by your system administrator, at the right of the
|
|
buttons a drop down list "Priority" is available. Here you can
|
|
select, surprisingly, the priority of this message. A high-priority
|
|
message might be presented in a different way by the recepient's
|
|
mail program. Note that excessive use of this function will devalue its
|
|
effect.

The large empty box is for whatever you want to put there. If a

signature file has been saved it will appear here as well. This is

where you type the body of your message.

<p>
|
|
Located at the bottom of the Compose page, this feature allows you to
|
|
include a file with your email. The file must be located on your
|
|
<i>local</i> machine or network to be attached. A browse button is
|
|
present so you may search through your directory structure and click
|
|
on the file to include. Alternatively you may type directly into the
|
|
attach field if you know the full path and exact file name. Simply
|
|
press the Add button to list the selected file as an attachment and it
|
|
will appear below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once at least one file is presented for attachment another button is
|
|
revealed. Deletion of one or more attached files is accomplished by
|
|
selecting the offending file or files and pressing the delete selected
|
|
attachments button.
