3 Reading an email message
4 </title>
5 <summary>
6 The ability to read an email message is one of the most basic features
7 of any email client. However, SquirrelMail has quite a few features
8 for while you are reading messages. This explains what they all do.

12 Click on the subject of a particular mail and that message is displayed.
13 One thing you will notice is that email and web addresses are live
14 links so you can click on them and send an email or open a page.
15 Another really nifty feature is that mail threads are color coded.
16 The standard for a reply is to quote the previous message with ">" before
17 every line. SquirrelMail sees this and color codes them. A replied
18 message will have a different color on the reply than the new text.
19 This works two layers deep. Another menu bar is now presented below the
20 main menu choices. This bar is in three sections. On the left side
21 you may delete or return to the summary. In the middle direct
22 navigation between messages is made possible. On the right, various
23 mailing functions are presented.

45 Click this link to delete the message being currently viewed.
46 All attachments of deleted mail are deleted as well. You can prevent the
47 loss of attachments by Downloading them first (explained further in
48 this chapter).<BR>
49 In this context, deleting means that the message will be moved to
50 the folder called Trash. If you wish to keep the message afterall, view
51 the Trash folder and move the message out.

62 In the middle of the bar are navigation buttons. Previous will be
63 an active link if it can be utilized and plain text otherwise. Clicking
64 this link will display the previous message without the need to go back
65 to the summary display of messages. The same goes for the Next link which
66 will advance you to the mail immediately following the one
67 currently being viewed.

76 <description>
77 <p>
78 On the right, the forward link, when pressed, opens the Compose page
79 with the previously viewed email in the text box below a tag of
80 "--Original Message--". "Fwd:" is prepended to the original subject
81 line and placed in the correct field. The various fields for sending
82 to an address await your completion. You may position the cursor in
83 the text box in order to add comments to the already existing text.
84 You may also use the attachment feature.

95 Click this link to return a new message to the originator of the
96 previously viewed message. "Re:" is prepended to the original subject
97 line and placed in the subject field. Again, the text of the original
98 message is quoted in the text box. This time the ">" symbol is placed
99 in front of the original text. You may note that some of the original
100 text doesn't have the ">" symbol. This is due to line wrapping and
101 may be unavoidable. Try setting the value of <i>Wrap incoming text</i>
102 in the Options page to a larger number, this may help. Comments can be
103 made anywhere in the text box in addition to the quoted message. You
104 may also use the attachment feature.

168 Any attachments sent with a received email will be displayed at the
169 bottom of the message inside a colored box. The file is presented
170 as a link with a description of the file type to it's right. Clicking
171 on the file name will either display the attachment or present a
172 download dialog depending on the file type. If you wish to download
173 the file (rather than possibly viewing it), click on the "download"
174 link on the right side.<BR>
175 If your webbrowser supports viewing the attachment file type, another
176 link, "view" will be displayed which displays the file in your browser.
