Compose and Send an Email Message in Windows Mail

The basics of composing and sending an email to a single person in Windows Mail are:

Beyond the Basics

After you are comfortable sending basic emails to single individuals, you may want to expand your emailing skills. 

Email Multiple People at Once. To send your message to multiple recipients, separate their names or email addresses in the To: field with semicolons. They will all receive the same email and will all be able to see the names of the other recipients. Use Cc and Bcc. These abbreviations are holdovers from the days of paper letters. Cc stands for carbon copy and Bcc is blind carbon copy. Carbon is a thing of the past, but the intent remains the same: The recipient can see the names of anyone you send a Cc of the email to, but the recipient cannot see any names you enter in the Bcc field. Enter names or email addresses in these fields just like you did in the To: field. You don’t have to use either of these fields. Add Attachments: You can send a photo or a document as an attachment in your email. Either in the middle of typing your email or when you are finished, click the attachment paperclip icon at the top of the email screen or click the Insert tab and choose Attach File from the drop-down menu, depending on your software version. You are instructed to locate the document or photo you want to attach. When you locate it, select it and click Open.
