Advanced Compose

By Clicking on the Advanced Compose menu you will be able to set whether the message should be denoted as High priority, Request Delivery and Read confirmation, and change your Reply-To status and turn on the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) address field. If a field or value is turned on it will be marked with a check on the menu.

High Priority

High Priority messages are flagged by some email servers and clients to let the recipient know that the message is important. You may set this value by selecting it on the Advanced Compose menu. To turn off the High Priority flag you can select the option from the Advanced Compose menu again.

Delivery Confirmation

Delivery Confirmation allows the email server at the recipient's end to notify you with a brief message letting you know that the recipient's server has received the message.

Note

Some mail servers do not support or honor Delivery Confirmation requests. If you have questions regarding whether your server supports these requests, you should consult your Mail Administrator.

Read Confirmation

Some recipients may have email clients with the ability to send you a short message letting you know when a message from you has been read. Click this option on the Advanced Compose menu if you would like a Read Confirmation message to be sent to you when possible.

Using an Alternate “Reply To:” Address

By default, when recipients reply to your email message, the reply will be sent to the address that was contained in the From: header of your message. If you want the reply to be sent to an address other than your From: then type the alternate address into the Reply To: box of the Advanced Compose page.

Sending a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC:)

On the Advanced Compose page, use this option exactly like TO: and CC:. The difference between CC: and BCC: is that the BCC: recipient’s email address will not appear anywhere on the message itself. To: and CC: recipients will not be able to see which (or if any) BCC: recipients have received a copy of the message. You can send the message to multiple BCC: recipients by inserting multiple addresses into the BCC: box, separated by commas or semicolons. You can also enter addresses into the BCC: header by using the Address Lookup feature. For instructions on how to use the Address Lookup feature, see: Using Address Lookup.

Note

Some recipient email systems may not support the BCC: option.
