Replying to a Message
You reply to a message when you want to respond to its sender.
- Select or open the message you want to reply to.
- From the Message menu, select Reply to display a new composition
window. Eudora completes the To:, From:, and Subject: fields based
on the original message.
Eudora also copies the text of the original message into the reply.
Each line from the original message is preceded by a ">" marker. The
">" markers offset the original text, so readers can distinguish your text
from the text you're replying to.
- Remove those parts of the original text that you don't want to include in
your reply and type in your own text.
- Once your response is completed, click Send (or Queue).
Tip: If you want to address the reply to everyone who received the
original message (and not just the sender), hold down the
[Shift] key when you select Reply from the Message menu.

There is nothing stopping you from practising the e-mail tool, with friends on or off this course. One thing to remember when sending and receiving mail is that it is courteous to send a quick message acknowledging the receipt of a message. You will not always have time to respond in full to a message, the benefit of email is the little time involved in replying briefly to all messages recieved. Due to the nature of textual communication, people often feel that the messages lack feeling and emotion that would come through in face to face communication. Some people use Emoticons to express there feelings, :), tilt your head to the side and this is a happy face, ;) someone winking, :( a sad face, a grin, you can use these in personal mails if you like.
