Often, you will need to provide an answer or an acknowledgment of receipt to an
individual who has sent you an e-mail message or to all of the individuals
who have received a message. In order to do this quickly and accurately,
you can use the Reply and Reply All features of the E-mail Center.
|
| 1. |
From the message display list, select the e-mail to which you want to reply.
|
| 2. |
In the preview pane above the message, you see a series of icons. Depending on how you want to reply, click one of the two reply icons:
 |
Allows you to reply only to the message sender. |
 |
Allows you to reply to the message sender and all message recipients (except Bcc recipients). |
|
| 3. |
The Compose E-mail window opens. Notice that the To line is filled in with
the e-mail address of the individual who sent the message and, if "reply
to all" has been selected, the addresses of any other recipients. The subject
line contains the subject of the message that you are replying to, prefaced
by the abbreviation "Re."
|
| 4. |
In the Enter Message box, type any text necessary to reply to the message. The message
will not support advanced text formatting (font styles,
indenting, etc.). If text formatting is necessary,
you can attach files that have been created in
other applications to the message.
|
| 5. |
To spell check the message, click the Spell Check button located below the Message box.
|

After you finish, click Send. If you are not finished, but want to preserve your
work to send at a later date, click Save a Draft.
The application will save a copy of your work into your Drafts folder.

If you want to exit without saving or sending the reply, click Cancel.
