There are several ways to
open a
Reading window. From the
Main window, you can:
- Double-click a message in the
Folder Contents area of the
Main window.
- Select one of the
Read -> options from the Main window
Message pull-down menu. (See
Read Options.)
- Place the mouse pointer on any message in the
Folder
Contents area and press the right mouse button to display
a pop-up menu from which you can select the
Read option.
(See
Message Pop-up Menu.)
Once you have opened a Reading window, you can leave it open
and continue using it to display other messages by:
- Selecting one of the
Next -> or
Previous -> options from the
Reading window
Message pull-down menu. This action
removes the current message and displays a different
message in the window. (See
Reading Window Menu
Bar.)
- Using the "Read" functions in the Main Window. (See
Main window
Read Options and
Message Pop-up Menu
Options.
- Dragging-and-dropping a
message from the
Folder Contents
area of the Main window into an open Reading window.
To do this, place the mouse pointer on the message and
press-and-hold the center mouse button. When an icon
for the message appears, drag the icon to the Reading
window and release the middle mouse button. The
existing message in the Reading window is replaced the
new message.
NOTE:
Options are available in both the Main
window
Message pull-down menu and the
Reading window
Message pull-down menu for
reading the next or previous unread message,
the next or previous message from the same
sender, the next or previous message with the
same subject, and so forth. These are
explained in
Read Options in the Main
window chapter and in
Reading Window
Message Menu Options in this chapter.
