Replying to E-mail

 

Replying to e-mail is even easier than sending it. As with all the other e-mail features, it is takes only one click. The following steps assume that you have already opened an e-mail message, read it, and now want to respond.

 

How to do it

 

1.     Click the REPLY Button.

 

 

2.     You will get a box that looks just like the New Message box, except it will have a lot of the
       details already filled in for you.

3.     Type your message in the space provided.

4.     Click SEND.

 

Beware of REPLY TO ALL

REPLY TO ALL is useful for sending a response to everybody on the distribution list for the original message. Suppose, for example, a friend sends you and three other friends a message asking if Saturday is a good time to get together. If you can t make it, you might want to REPLY TO ALL and suggest Sunday instead. Your message will go to all of the original recipients on the list.

On the other hand, if you want to send a message to the original sender suggesting that one of the guests is not one of your favorite people, you should use the REPLY button. That way, your response will only be sent to the original sender.

This type of thing does happen, and it can be extremely embarrassing.
