Advanced Compose

There are several optional features available for use on the Compose page. To display these features click Advanced or on the Compose toolbar located at the top Compose page.

Using an Alternate ôReply To:ö Address

By default, when recipients reply to your email message, the reply will be sent to the address that was contained in the From: header 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 of the Advanced Compose page.

Sending a Carbon Copy (CC:)

On the Advanced Compose page, the CC: option is used exactly like the TO: header. Type an address or use the Address Lookup feature 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: header, separated by commas or semicolons. You can also enter addresses into the CC: header by using the Address Lookup feature. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

Sending a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC:)

On the Advanced Compose page, use this option exactly like TO: and CC:. The difference between CC: and BCC: is that the BCC: recipientÆs 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. You can also enter addresses into the BCC: header by using the Address Lookup feature. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

Note

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

Delivery Confirmation

On the Advanced Compose page, click this option if you would like your mail server to send you a message letting you know when your message was successfully delivered to the recipientÆs mail server.

Note

Some mail servers do not support or honor Delivery Confirmation requests. If you have questions regarding whether your server supports these requests, you should consult your Mail Administrator.

Read Confirmation

Some recipients may have email clients with the ability to send you a short message letting you know when a message from you has been read. Click this option on the Advanced Compose page if you would like a Read Confirmation message to be sent to you when possible.

High Priority

On the Compose page, click this option to mark an outgoing message as High Priority. Some email servers look for messages containing this flag and will attempt to deliver them immediately and/or give them priority status. Many email clients mark high priority messages with a symbol or flag to let the recipient know that the message is urgent. Some mail servers and email clients do not honor the High Priority flag.
