Replying to Messages

When replying to a message, the contents of the To and From fields are swapped and the old header along with the original message is copied to the message area of the message window.

Note When you reply to a message sent to multiple recipients, your reply is sent to each of these recipients.

Follow these steps to reply to a message:

  1. Select Open from the Message menu to open a specific message, or select the Inbox in a Folder window and double-click the message you want to reply to.
  2. Select Reply from the Message menu. Two text boxes open in the message area. One contains the message header. The second contains the message you are replying to.
  3. Modify the header and/or the message as needed.
  4. Delete recipients from the recipient list in the message window by selecting them and pressing the DELETE key on your keyboard.
  5. Write your reply in the second text box or open a new text box.
  6. Select Send from the Message menu.
