yahMAIL Guide - Create-Send

Example yahMAIL CREATE-SEND message.
  1. Date: the date/time the message composition page was opened.
  2. Sender: the sender's username (and personal name, if applicable).
  3. Reply-To: reply address (if different to the sending address).
  4. Address(es): destination addresses, one per line.
  5. Courtesy-Copy: addresses, one per line.
  6. Address LISTS: opens the separate address lists page.
  7. Courtesy-Copy Self: send yourself a copy of this message.
  8. Subject: as a courtesy to the recipient always enter a meaningful message description.
  9. Message-Composition: enter and edit the message text here. Most browsers provide basic highlight/cut/copy/paste capabilites - but it's not a word processor! Contents of any signature file will have been appended.
  10. Attachment: one or more browse buttons may be present. These allow files on the local system to be added to the message as MIME attachments. Note that not all sites may support this facility and so none may be present.
  11. Send Message: mails the message. Large messages or those with attachments may take some time to upload to the server, particularly on low-speed links such as via modems - be patient.
  12. Reset: returns the page to the contents when first opened - caution, it can undo a lot of work!
  13. Close: the create-send window (after sending the message)
