Use WorldClient's Compose page to compose new email messages. To reach this page, click the Compose button located on the Navigation Bar in the left frame of your browser. The Compose page will be opened automatically when Replying to or Forwarding messages.

Composing an Email Message

1. Make sure that the From: box contains your correct email address. You may or may not have been given permission to edit this entry.

   If permitted, you can edit your default Full Name and Address settings from the Personal page located in Options (Pro version only).

2. Type the recipient's email address into the To: box, or click Address Book, select an address book entry, and then click Finished to insert that address. You can send the message to multiple recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the To: box, separated by commas or semicolons.

3. Type the subject of the message into the Subject: box. Filling in the Subject: isn't required but is customary and may help the recipients in identifying and referencing the message.

4. Type the body of your message into the text box provided beneath the message headers. If the text of your message is too long for the text box, you can scroll through it by using the scroll bar on its right side.

5. When you have finished composing your message, click Send Now on the Compose toolbar to send it. If you haven't finished composing your message - or if you wish to send it at a later time - click Send Later. The message will be saved in the Drafts folder for later use.

Spell Checking Email Messages (Pro version only)
You can check the body of your outgoing messages for spelling errors before you send them by clicking Spell Check on the Compose toolbar. This will take you to the Spell Check page, which will display the text of your message with spelling errors noted.

1. Each word that is in question will be displayed in a drop-down list box containing alternate spelling choices. Make a spelling correction by clicking the arrow on the side of the list box and then choosing a selection from the list that will be displayed.

2. If a word's drop-down list doesn't contain a selection that you desire, click Finished to return to the Compose page where you can manually retype the word in question.

3. When you have finished making your corrections, click Finished to return to the Compose page which will then display your corrected message.

   -OR-

   Click Send Now to send your corrected message immediately without first returning to the Compose page.

4. If you wish to send your message at a later time, click Send Later and your message will be saved in the Drafts folder maintaining any corrections that you may have already made.

 

You can have Spell Check skip over certain words by adding them to the Dictionary. The Dictionary is located on the Preferences page reached by clicking Options on the Navigation Bar and then choosing Preferences.

Attaching Files to Email Messages
To include one or more file attachments with your message, click Attachments on the Compose page and then follow the directions on the Attachments page.

Advanced Options
There are several optional features available for use on the Compose page. To display these features clickAdvancedon the Compose toolbar located at the top and bottom of the Compose page.

Using an Alternate "Reply To:" Address
By default, when recipients reply to your email message the reply will be sent to the address that was contained in the From: box of your message. If you want the reply to be sent to an address other than your From: then type the alternate address into the Reply To: box under Advanced Options on the Compose page.

Sending a Carbon Copy (CC:)
On the Compose page, the CC: option is used exactly like the TO: box. Type or use theAddress Book button to enter email addresses to which you wish to send a copy of the message. All recipients of the message will be able to see that a copy has been sent to the CC: addresses. You can send the message to multiple CC: recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the CC: box, separated by commas or semicolons.

Sending a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC:)
On the Compose page, use this option exactly like TO: and CC:. The difference between CC: and BCC: is that the BCC: recipient's email address will not appear anywhere on the message itself. To: and CC: recipients will not be able to see which (or if any) BCC: recipients have received a copy of the message. You can send the message to multiple BCC: recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the BCC: box, separated by commas or semicolons.

 

Some recipient email systems do not support the BCC: option.
