Use this form to create a standard message.


From
This field is automatically filled in with your name.
If you are sending the message over the Internet, you can pick the Internet mail alias you want recipients to see by clicking the button beside your name, then choosing the alias. Anyone who receives your message over the Internet won't see your FirstClass user name, just your Internet alias.
Subject
The subject of the message.
To
The recipients' names. To add multiple recipients, press Tab or Enter/Return after each one.
You can type a partial name for a recipient who is in the Directory. A list opens containing all the names in the Directory that match. Names in bold are currently logged in. Double-click the name you want.

If you know that what you have typed is unique in the Directory, press Tab. The rest of the name will be filled in.
To open the whole Directory without typing a partial name, just type a space. Select the name you want, then click To.
You can fill in all the address fields while the Directory is still open by clicking the appropriate buttons.
If you have a plain text list of recipients, you can add all these recipients at once by copying and pasting them. Recipients must be separated by tabs or semicolons (;), all in one paragraph.
To move to the "Cc" field, press Tab or Enter/Return twice.
Cc
Fill in this field like the "To" field, except drag the name to the "Cc" field or, in the whole Directory, click Cc.
These recipients are copied on the message.
Bcc
Fill in this field like the "To" field, except drag the name to the "Bcc" field or, in the whole Directory, click Bcc.
This field isn't initially visible to you, and is never visible to "To" and "Cc" recipients. It allows you to copy people without your other recipients being aware of these copies.
To show the "Bcc" field, choose View > Show Bcc. You can hide this field while editing the message by choosing View > Hide Bcc.
