Pretty straightforward, there are a couple of pitfalls and bits 'n' bobs to be aware of when sending stuff via the browser. Can you use automatic signatures? Will people's names automatically complete in the "To:" box? Hmmm... here's where you can find out!!

To reply, just click on reply, in a conference this'll be either "reply" or "reply to sender", either way... it couldn't be easier!! To send a brand new message, click on either...

	or
Just click the icon!		You need to select "Message" and click "New" for this to work
If you want to send a new message to a conference, just go into that conference, and click on the conference name... that'll open up a new message, and fill in the 'To:' bit for you!

The following screen will appear...

Sending a message

Once you've filled in all the necessary info... you can press "Send" and that's it!

• If you're not sure about the name of the person you're sending your message to... look them up in the directory by simply typing what you think might be the name you're after in the directory field!
• If you've got an automatic signature set up, then it'll display in any new messages you create using the browser
• You can't change the font or formatting using the browser
• Save your message frequently - it'll make things less frustrating if you lose your connection!

Unlike in the FirstClass client, when you type the recipient's name, it doesn't auto-complete... or double-check itself in the FirstClass directory. If you're not sure of the spelling of someone's name... check!!!!

Click on the "directory" link and type in the approximate spelling of a person's name into the box that appears:

Local - lives on the server you're currently on, Remote - lives on a different server, Conferences - search for conferences

It can generally find it - or come up with some pretty good guesses!!! As with all these things... the FirstClass client is better for looking up names... but the web version'll do.

Just click on the reply icon and away you go...

The name of the person you're replying to will be filled in for you. If you've replied in a conference, or started a new posting in a conference by using the reply facility there... then again, the name of the conference will be filled in for you! Hooray!!!
