To respond to a message (for instance the one you are reading now),
you have to know already how to write a new message. In fact, there are
no differences between the "reply" and the "write" form.
WebMail provides some specific icons Reply, Incl. Reply e Forward,
allowing you to choose between the following options:
simply responds to this message.
The field "To:" is already compiled with the name of the sender
of the current message. The "Subject:" field is also pre-compiled and
appears like Re: Subject of this message. "Re" stands
for reply.
acts as Reply but includes the text of this message.
Selecting this icon also causes the "To:" and "Subject:" fields to be
pre-compiled, and also performs the inclusion of the text of the
original message. Each line belonging to the original message starts
with the character ">".
Obviously, you can edit the text field to insert comment and answers
to individual parts of the original message.
forwards this same message to another person.
You may wish to share part of a message with another person.
Selecting the Forward icon causes the "Subject:" field to be
filled with the subject of the current message ( without the
leading "RE:") and the text of the current message to be included,
between the lines:
---------- Start of forwarded message ---------
----------- End of forwarded message ----------
The "To:" field is not compiled.
You can now test the behaviour of these icons. The text of this message
will be:
This is a message for testing the WebMail functions: reply, incl.reply, and
forward.
