I hope your day is going well. I am going to Decatur tomorrow night
  to have dinner with Bridget.  I won't be late (8:30). I just thought you
  might want to send your brother an email ( his address is bros@brother.com
  or visit the hottest golf web site ( http://www.golfdigest.com ) for some
  tips on your swing!

Subject:, Date:, To:
Self explanatory. "Date" is the month and day the message was sent.

From:
Specifies the sender of the message. If the Save Address link is present, you may click on it to save this address to your address book. If the Save Address link is NOT present, this address is already saved in your address book!

Cc:
Stands for "Carbon copy". Everyone in the list received a copy of this email message.

Attachments:
These links provide access to email attachments. You may click on certain attachments with your left mouse button and the attachments will be automatically opened up by the proper application on your system. For example, if you were sent an attachment called "resume.doc", your web browser would use Microsoft Word to display the document. Other extensions that will usually open automatically are ".gif" ".jpg" ".txt", and a few others.
If your file doesn't "automagically" open into the proper program, try clicking on it with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and highlighting "Save Target As..." This will enable you to save the attachment to a file on your computer.

General comments on reading your email messages...
URLs (Universal Resource Locators - example: http://....) will take you to the designated web page. E-mail addresses will bring up the "Compose" page with the email address comprising the "To:" field.

Open Address Book
Display saved addresses. Click on links (in blue) to send to just that person. Press the "Update Addresses" button to send to all email addresses with marked check boxes. This method can be quite slow when you have a lot of addresses saved.

Edit Address Book
Add new email addresses or edit saved addresses.

To:, Cc:
Enter one or more email addresses you wish to send this message to here. Email addresses must be separated by a space, comma, or semicolon. Valid entry examples are:
mike@adjeweb.com amy@adjeweb.com
mike@adjeweb.com, stan@adjeweb.com
mike@adjeweb.com; stan@adjeweb.com
Remember that everyone listed in the "To:" and "Cc:" fields receives a copy of the list of email addresses that received the message. "Cc" stands for "Carbon copy".

Bcc:
"Bcc" stands for "Blind carbon copy". Email addresses listed in this field are not sent a copy of the list of people that received the email. Example: If you had three boyfriends (or girlfriends) that you wanted to shmooze with the same love letter, this is the way to go!! The entry format is that same as that of "To:" and "Cc:" above.

Send E-Mail
Once you've completed your message and specified any attachments, this button will send your email on its way!

Clear Message Box Only
Will clear the message box of any text. It's faster to send a "new" message by replying to a message and clearing the message box than pressing the "Compose" button and bringing up the address book. A note to "vi" editor users: pressing the "escape" (Esc) key while in the message box will also clear the box - be careful!! I've been burned on this many times!!

Attach Files to Message (Optional)
You may attach up to two (2) files from your computer to an email. Hit the "Browse..." button, specify the file(s) you wish to atttach, then press the "Open" button. The path of the file will appear in the text area to the left of the "Browse..." button. Once you've completed the message portion of your email, press the "Send E-Mail" button to send your message plus attachments. Remember that large files take longer to send than small ones!!

General Comments:
Clicking on a linked (blue) name/address will copy the address of the individual into the "To:" field of the "Compose" form and close the address book. You may send messages to several addresses by checking the "To:" "Cc:" or "Bcc:" boxes followed by pressing the "Address To Selected Users" button. This button will transfer the checked addresses to the "Compose" form and close the address book.

Name:
The name associated with an email address. Usually the name of a person. Example: "Michael Mohlere".
