Sending
Emails
Many
of you no doubt have heard of emails. Emails are fast
becoming the norm when it comes to keeping in contact
with relatives, friends and businesses.
An
email is essentially a letter or note typed on your
computer, which you then send to the receiver via the
Internet. This article will give you a few tips on
writing an email, and how to send them.
The
majority of emails can be written directly from within
your email program. Popular email programs include
Outlook Express, Outlook, and Incredimail. For this
article we will be using Outlook Express, but the
process for writing an email within other programs is
essentially the same.
Open
up your email program, and in the upper left, you will
see Create Mail. This opens a new window, in which you
can type.
The
first item to type is the email address of the person
or business you want to send the email to. This
address will typically be your friend or relatives
personal ID, together with their Internet provider or
website. For example, our email address is: info (that’s
me) at (@) our Internet website (mcsyarraman.com.au).
Once
you have ‘addressed’ your email, next is to type
the subject. This can be anything you wish, however
this usually contains a brief sentence or phrase
outlining the reason for the email.
Next,
in the larger window underneath, you can type the body
of your letter or note. You can add bold or italics,
change text colour and font, and even add formatting
and pictures.
Once
you have typed your message, and you don’t intend to
added anything else, you can click Send in the upper
left corner of the window. Provided you are connected
to the Internet, your email will now be sent to the
receiver.
Sometimes
before you send the email, you may wish to attach
another document, photo, or other type of file. To do
this is relatively simple.
At
the top of the window in which you have been working,
you will see the Insert menu. Click this, and then
File Attachment. This will open another window, which
will let you navigate around your computer to where
the document, photo, or file is located. Once you find
the file, click it, and then click Attach. You will
notice that the file to be included now shows below
the Subject line.
If
you want to send more than one attachment with your
email (common if you are sending photos), simply
repeat the above process for each photo.
Finally,
a note on sending photos by email. Make sure the photo
you are sending is no larger in file size than 200kb.
If you are unsure of its size, go ahead and add the
photo, and its size will appear under the Subject line
along with its name. If it is too large, right click
on the photo name, and click Remove.
