Sending Mail

To send a message to someone, you will need to know their exact E-mail address. It is typically the person's "UserID@their_provider's_name". E-mail addresses generally do not contain the following - commas, parentheses, or spaces. If you do not know someone's e-mail address, your best bet would be to simply ask them, or you can try to find them in an Internet Directory such as WhoWhere.com

How do I attach files to E-Mail messages?
You can attach just about any file to an e-mail message and send it anybody on the Internet. The person receiving the file will need the appropriate application to open the file when they get it. For example, the recipient will not be able to view a PowerPoint file if they do not have Power Point Viewer on their system. To attach a file with Outlook Express, click the paperclip icon in the new message window. Enter the location or browse for the file on your system. The attached file will be displayed along with your new message.

What is a signature file?
Signature files are text files that are automatically added to the end of e-mail messages. To create one, simply use any text editor such as Notepad. A signature file can be your name, your title, or a hyperlink to your web page. Save the file as a .txt file. In the Outlook Express window, click on Tools at the top and go to Stationary. Click on the Signature button. You can either enter the text in the window or point to the text file on your system.
