Sending Mail
When creating a mail message, be aware that the Web Messaging server connection may time
out after 12 minutes (depending on the number of users on the system). If the server times
out while you are creating a message, you may not realize it until you click the Send
button. If you click Send and the server has timed out, the logon screen will appear and
the message will not be sent.
To send a mail message:
1. Click the Send button. The send mail screen appears.
2. In the To: text box, enter one or more recipients. Separate each recipient with a
comma. For each recipient, you need to enter a full Internet e–mail address,
depending on whether the recipient is on your local system or network or on a remote
system.
3. In the CC: text box, enter any recipients to whom you want to send a copy of the
message.
4. In the Subject: text box, enter a brief description of the subject .The description you
enter in this text box will appear in the message header that gets displayed in the
recipient’s mailbox.
5. In the edit window below the Subject: text box, enter the body of the message.
The edit window supports cut, copy, and paste through the right–mouse popup menu and
by the cut (Ctrl–X), copy (Ctrl–C), and paste (Ctrl–V) keystrokes.
The edit window can handle a message size approximately equal to 18 pages of a word
processing document. You cannot attach documents or files to a message.
You can add Web–based text and graphics to your message. See the following section
for more information.
6. Click the Send button below the edit window. A confirmation message is displayed.
Adding Web–based Text and Graphics to a Mail Message
You can use HTML code to add Web–based text and graphics to an e–mail message.
If you enter a complete Web address in the text of your message, the address will display
as a highlighted hyperlink. The recipient of this message can click on the hyperlink
to go to the associated Web page.
You can also enter any HTML code, identified by the start and end tags (<HTML> ...
</HTML>) in a mail message to display the text and graphics as they appear on a Web
page. Graphics files must be in .GIF format. If the graphics file contains a link, the
recipient can click on the graphic to display the associated Web page.
