| Sending Messages |
| Messages are sent from the "Compose" page. The "Compose" page is displayed when you initially access
Qmailer. To access this page at any time, click on "Compose". To send a message, please follow the instructions below. |
|
| Step 1)
|
Select the recipient to whom you wish to send a message. To send a message to all recipients at once (broadcast), select "All Recipients".
If you would like to send your message to a select group of recipients, select each recipient and click on the "+" button to add to the send list. To remove any recipient from the send list, select that recipient, and click on "-" button. You can also manually enter a recipient's email address in the "To" field.
|
|
| Step 2) |
Select a sender. A sender is the return email address you want recipients to see when they receive your message.
|
|
| Step 3) |
Select an identity. An identity is the name you would like recipients to see instead of the return email address. To have the return email
address (sender) listed without a name, select "Do Not Show". |
|
| Step 4) |
If you are sending a saved message, select the message to send, otherwise complete the subject and message fields.
|
|
| Step 5) |
If your message is in plain text format, select "Plain Text" in the "Type" field. To send an HTML page, select "HTML"
in the "Type" field, and paste the source code into the message box. |
|
| Step 6) |
If you would like to include a salutation and/or unsubscribe link with your message, check the "Include" "Salutation" and "Unsubscribe Link" boxes respectively. Please note, you cannot include a salutation or unsubscribe link with HTML documents. |
