Reading Messages

To Read a Message

  1. Select the required message in the main NetMail window.
  2. Click Read.

  3. Note

    Large messages might not be displayed completely. To display other segments of a truncated message, use the buttons labeled with angle brackets (<, >) or click Print/Save to display the entire message in a browser window.


If you have selected Multiple Read Windows in the Preferences dialog, NetMail displays a separate Read window for each message you view. If you did not select Multiple Read Windows, NetMail reuses the existing Read Message window.

For more information, see the NetMail Read Window Quick Reference.

Viewing Attachments

If a message includes an attachment, the attachment information area displays a line of information about the attachment.

To view an attachment

NetMail displays attachments in one of three ways, based on the MIME type of the attachment:
