WRITING AN E-MAIL MESSAGE

To send an e-mail message to one or more people, all you need to know is their e-mail addresses.

Here are the basic steps:

1From the Web Home screen, select Mail, then press OK or RETURN.

2Select Write from the left side of the page, then press OK or RETURN. A new, blank message appears.

Return to the

Mail list.

Go to your	Your e-mail	The address of the
address book.	address.	person you’re writing to.

Send a copy of this message to someone. (Use Settings in the Mail List to set this up.)

3Type the recipient’s e-mail address, then press the RETURN key on your keyboard.

If you do not have a wireless keyboard, you can use the on-screen keyboard. To show the on-screen keyboard, press the OK button on your remote control.

To send the message to more than one person, separate the addresses with a comma.

4Press RETURN until the blinking typing-cursor is in the Subject line, then type a title for your message and press RETURN again.

As you type your e-mail message, you don’t need to press RETURN at the end of each line. The text moves down automatically.

5When you are finished typing your message, select Send (lower-right corner of the page), then press OK or RETURN. (You may have to scroll down to see the Send button.)

E-mail addresses versus Web addresses:

When you send someone an e-mail, you send it to them at their e-mail address; for example MickeyLou@webtv.net.

Web sites have similar addresses known as URLs (Uniform Resource Locators); for example www.msnbc.com.

While e-mail addresses and Web addresses may look alike, they work very differently. You cannot send e-mail to someone at a Web address, and you cannot view a Web site by going to an e-mail address.
