Below are the steps to 'reply to sender' of an email.
- To open Outlook Express begin by clicking 'START', 'PROGRAMS', 'OUTLOOK EXPRESS' ( * Depending on your version of windows ie: win95., win98, WinXP, you may have to find Outlook Express elsewhere in the START menu)
- Click on 'INBOX' in the Folder Tree Pane1
- Now click on the appropriate email that you would like to reply to on the right hand side in the Message List (Folder List)2
- Now click the 'REPLY' button on the main toolbar up top. A new window will appear for you to compose a reply message.
- FROM:
- this is where your email address is displayed - you don not need to change this.
- TO:
- because this is a reply to an email the recipient's Name or Email address is already automatically inserted here - you should not change this.
- CC:
- A paper receipt can have a Main Copy (white), and also Carbon Copies (yellow and blue, etc.) for other recipients. The same goes for email. This field is where you can specify extra recipients in addition to the main recipient. Remember to seperate multiple email addresses with a semi-colon (;) like so:
johnnydepp@walmart.com; britneyspears@canadiantire.com
- SUBJECT:
- In this case, since we are replying to an email Outlook Express automatically fills in the subject of the email preceeded with a 'RE: ' to signify that this is a reply. If you need to, you may change this but it is recommended to leave this as is for the conveinience of the end reader.
- BODY:
- Just below the Subject Box you can type the BODY of your message. You can format it like a letter or anyway you please, it's totally up to you.
