Writing an e-mail
When writing an e-mail message, it should look something like the example window below. As you can see, several fields are required when sending an e-mail:
- The To field is where you type the e-mail address of the person who is the recipient of your message.
- The From field should contain your e-mail address.
- If you are replying to a message, the To and From fields are automatically filled out; if it’s a new message, you’ll need to enter them manually.
- The CC or Carbon Copy field allows you to send a copy of the message to another e-mail address but is not mandatory.
- The Subject Line, although not required, should consist of a few words describing the e-mail’s contents.
- Finally, the Message Body is the location you type your main message. It often contains your signature at the bottom; similar to a hand-written letter.
