[table of contents] [index]
Now that you've seen the messages, pick one from your friend that
you'd like to answer.
Select it (in the Table of Contents).
Use Reply on
the Message menu or use the
META-R
accelerator.
A composition window like the one below will open.
Figure: Composition window with reply
The message header is already filled in -- that's why the
Reply button is so useful.
Be sure that your username is listed in the Cc:
field; if it isn't, use the editor and add your username so
you'll get a copy of the reply.
You can edit the header if you need to.
(Note that
your MH may have been set up to send you a copy of replies automatically.
The Section
Selective Replies with -nocc and -cc
explains how to set your default choice.)
Move the cursor into the body area as you did when you sent
the messages a few minutes ago -- or use the
META-]
accelerator.
Fill in a reply.
As you did before, click Send to send the reply, then use
Close Window -- or just click Close Window
to skip the reply.
In a minute (unless your computer is very busy) you should have a
copy of your reply.
Select Incorporate New Mail on the
Table of Contents menu
to get it; read it the way you did before.
(The accelerator is
META-SHIFT-I.)
The Section More About Replying has more
information.
