| 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. |

| 25 | The <B>From:</B> field will only be displayed if you have enabled multiple |
| 26 | identities (through the Options, Personal Preferences menu). If you've done |
| 27 | so you can choose which identity you want to use, i.e. which name and |
| 28 | email address appear as the From-line of your message. |

| 40 | Next is the <B>To:</B> field. In this field you should |
| 41 | enter the email address of the person or persons you are sending a |
| 42 | message to. You may enter as many addresses as you like, separating |
| 43 | them with a comma. One may also press the "Addresses" button to fill |
| 44 | in the field. Don't worry if the entire address is not displayed. |
| 45 | The field is a fixed length, but everything you put in it will be used, |
| 46 | even though it might scroll to the right or left. |

| 57 | Next is the <B>CC:</B> field. CC is an abbreviation for <B>C</B>arbon |
| 58 | <B>C</B>opy. If you wish to send someone else a copy of the message |
| 59 | here is where you would do that. Think of this in the same way a memo |
| 60 | is laid out. You can have as many people as you like in the <B>To:</B>, |
| 61 | <B>CC:</B>, and <B>BCC:</B> fields. Only the people to whom the message |
| 62 | has direct impact would be in the <B>To:</B> field while recipients to |
| 63 | whom this is possibly only informative would be in the <B>CC:</B> and |
| 64 | <B>BCC:</B> fields. |

| 161 | Located at the bottom of the Compose page, this feature allows you to |
| 162 | include a file with your email. The file must be located on your |
| 163 | <I>local</I> machine or network to be attached. A browse button is |
| 164 | present so you may search through your directory structure and click |
| 165 | on the file to include. Alternatively you may type directly into the |
| 166 | attach field if you know the full path and exact file name. Simply |
| 167 | press the Add button to list the selected file as an attachment and it |
| 168 | will appear below. |
| 169 | </p> |
| 170 | <p> |
| 171 | Once at least one file is presented for attachment another button is |
| 172 | revealed. Deletion of one or more attached files is accomplished by |
| 173 | selecting the offending file or files and pressing the delete selected |
| 174 | attachments button. |
