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. |

23 | <description> |
24 | <p> |
25 | First among these is the <B>To:</B> field. In this field you should |
26 | enter the email address of the person or persons you are sending a |
27 | message to. You may enter as many addresses as you like, separating |
6205dc7d |
28 | them with a comma. One may also press the "Addresses" button to fill |
384c5b78 |
29 | in the field. Don't worry if the entire address is not displayed. |
6205dc7d |
30 | The field is a fixed length, but everything you put in it will be used, |
384c5b78 |
31 | even though it might scroll to the right or left. |

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

83 | <description> |
84 | <p> |
85 | This button will open the address book after a search box is presented. |
86 | Something must be entered in the search box to retrieve a result. |
87 | If all addresses in the address book are required enter a space here |
88 | and click the submit button. The address book has enough functionality |
89 | that it deserves it's own section. More detailed information is |
90 | available in the "Addresses" chapter. |

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