THESE HELP WINDOWS ARE VERY ROUGH - FORGIVE ME.

Composing a Message

1.	From the File menu, select New Message (Command-N). A compose message window will appear, with the cursor blinking in the To: address field.
2.	Type in the address(es) of the person(s) or group(s) to whom you wish to send the e-mail message. Separate each addressee with a comma.
3.	Press the tab key to advance to each subsequent field. The CC (carbon-copy); field allows you to include others who are not necessarily the primary recipients. The BCC (blind carbon copying) allows you to copy the message to yourself (or others) without your name appearing in the address list.
4.	To begin to enter text in the message, either advance the cursor using the tab key or simply click in the message field. Type in your message. You can edit anything in the message (including the subject and address) by positioning the cursor and employing Macintosh editing techniques (this means you can cut and paste from other mail or text documents; you cannot paste graphics—yet).
5.	To send a message, select Send from the Message menu (Command-/) or click on the send button in the message window.
	NOTE: Mailstrom automatically saves the current mail composition in a file in the System Folder called .i.RecentMsg;. In the event that the Mailstrom application crashes while you are in the process of sending a message, you can retrieve a copy of your mail message from your System Folder. The message will be stored there until the next mail composition, at which time it is replaced by the current composition.??

Finding Text Within a Message Window

You can search for a text string within an individual message window(for information about locating text string within a mailbox of messages see Finding Messages later in this document). 
1.	With the message window open, select Find (Command-F) from the Edit menu. 
2.	You can specify whether the search should start from the top of the message or the default, which is from the current insertion point, and whether the search should be case sensitive. If found, the text string will be highlighted in your message. If not found, Mailstrom will beep.

Aborting a Message Composition

To abort a message composition, choose Close Window; form the File menu (Command-W) or click in the close window box of the message window itself. You will get a message asking you if would like to save changes to “Outgoing Message.”
.i.Saving a Message Composition
Mailstrom allows you to save a draft of a message composition for later use. To save a message composition, select Save As... from the File menu. The message will be saved to the disk and folder you select in the dialogue box.

Opening Text Documents

Mailstrom allows you to open other text documents and copy and paste from them into your message composition. From the File menu select Open Text...(Command-O) and then select a text document. 
A new, unaddressed message window will open with the text of the document.
