Ex 7.6.1 - send an e-mail

 
KNOWLEDGE
 
SEND A MESSAGE
 
When working with an e-mail application such as Hotmail, Outlook or Outlook Express you can do the following:
  • create a new message

  • Copy (Cc) or Blind Copy (Bcc) a message to another address(es)

  • add a title in the "Subject" field of the message

  • spell check the message before you send it

  • add an attachment to the message

  • send the message with high, low priority

  • send the message using a distribution list

  • forward a message sent to you to other persons

When you wish to send an e-mail there are a number of different options available to you.  These are:
  • Reply - To Reply to an e-mail involves sending an immediate response to someone who has e-mailed you.  When you Reply their original message and your response to it will both be sent (this is generally the default option but it can be turned off).  In addition, as you are replying to an existing e-mail account their e-mail address will automatically appear in the "To: box" thus ensuring it is accurately addressed.
  • Forward - To Forward an e-mail involves sending an e-mail sent to you to other people who you think may be interested in it.  If a friend asks would you like to meet up this weekend you may wish to invite several others along and by forwarding the e-mail you are letting everyone know what you are planning.
  • Compose - To Compose an e-mail means to create a brand new e-mail and send it to someone.  In doing this you must enter their e-mail address either by typing it or by selecting it from the address book.  Your message will normally be a new message rather than a reply to one sent to you.  The person you e-mail may well Reply to and\or Forward your e-mail.
