To Field: This location contains the e-mail address of
the person you are sending the message to. A valid e-mail address contains
a username, the @ symbol (shift + 2), a domain name, and a .extension
(Example: user@nowhere.com or johndoe@wcc.net). You can send
the same message to more than one person by seperating the addresses by a
comma and a space (Example: user@nowhere.com, seconduser@aol.com,
johndoe@wcc.net). Netscape does NOT provide a line for the person's
real name.
Subject
Field: This location is for a brief idea of what the message will be
about. It is not required, but Netscape will remind you if it is left
blank.
Message
Field: This is where you type the body of your message. There are no
limitations on the number or type of characters you use. Lines will
automatically wrap to the next one if they get too long, or you can insert
them manually. Page breaks are also automatic, should the recipient decide
to print your message. You can use different fonts, colors, sizes, etc.,
but make sure that the recipient will be able to view them. Some older
computers don't recognize anything that isn't standard
text.
