<H3>Replying to a Message</H3>
<P>You can reply to a message when you want to respond to the sender (and possibly 
  recipients) of the message.</P>
<OL>
  <LI>Select or open the message to which you want to reply.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>Select <B>Message&gt;Reply</B>, or click the <B>Reply</B> button on the 
    main toolbar, or press <B>Command+R</B>. Eudora automatically completes the 
    <B>To</B> and <B>Subject</B> fields and the message body using the information 
    from the original message. Each line from the original message is preceded 
    by an excerpt bar (this is referred to as "quoting"). The excerpt 
    bars offset the original text, so readers can distinguish your text from the 
    text you're replying to. (Styled text is quoted with left sidebars, also 
    called excerpt bars, which are continuous vertical bars: "<B>|</B>".)</LI>
  <BR><BR>

  <LI>Remove those parts of the original text that you don't want to include 
    in your reply, and add your own text.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>When you are done, click <B>Send</B> (or <B>Queue</B>).</LI>
</OL>
<P>You can use the Replying Settings options (<B>Special&gt;Settings...&gt;Replying</B>) 
  to specify whether you want your reply messages to include only the sender of 
  the original message, or the sender and all the recipients.</P>
<P><B>Tip:</B> To toggle that reply setting temporarily, hold down the <B>Option</B> key and 
  select <B>Message&gt;Reply To All</B>.</P>
<P><B>Tip:</B> To reply quoting only the selected text, hold down the <B>Shift</B> key and 
  select <B>Message&gt;Reply Quoting Selection</B>.</P>

<H4>Forwarding a Message</H4>
<P>You can forward a message when you want someone else to read it and possibly 
  respond to you. Note that when you forward a message, not just the message body 
  but also the header fields of the original message are included.</P>
<OL>
  <LI>Select or open the message you want to forward.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>Select <B>Message&gt;Forward</B>, or click the <B>Forward</B> button on 
    the main toolbar. Eudora automatically completes the <B>Subject</B> field 
    and the message body using the information from the original message. The 
    Subject is preceded by "Fwd:" and a space. Each line from the original 
    message (including the header lines) is preceded by a right-angle bracket 
    marker, "&gt;" (this is referred to as "quoting"). The 
    "&gt;" markers offset the original text, so readers can distinguish 
    your text from the text you're forwarding. (Styled text is quoted with 
    left sidebars, also called excerpt bars, which are continuous vertical bars: 
    "<B>|</B>".)</LI><BR><BR>

  <LI>The cursor is positioned in the <B>To</B> field: fill in the addresses of 
    the people to whom you want to forward the message.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>Edit the existing text as needed, and add your own text if desired.</LI><BR>
    <BR>
  
  <LI>When you are done, click <B>Send</B> (or <B>Queue</B>).</LI>
</OL>

<H4>Redirecting a Message</H4>
<P>You can redirect a message when you want someone to read it and respond to 
  the original sender. When you redirect a message, you "bounce" it 
  to someone else: you remove yourself from the communication loop and effectively 
  change the message to be one from the original sender to your redirected recipient 
  (with you simply as the "handoff" person in the middle). Thus, when 
  your redirected recipient responds to the message, the reply goes not to you 
  but to the original sender.</P>
<OL>
  <LI>Select or open the message you want to redirect.<BR>
    <BR>
  </LI>
  <LI>Select <B>Message&gt;Redirect</B>, or click the <B>Redirect</B> button on 
    the main toolbar. Eudora automatically completes the <B>From</B> and <B>Subject</B> 
    fields and the message body using the information from the original message. 
    The <B>From</B> field also includes the words "by way of" followed 
    by your name or email address. This way the recipient knows who redirected 
    the message (you).<BR>
    <BR>
  </LI>
  <LI>The cursor is positioned in the <B>To:</B> field. Fill in the addresses of 
    the people to whom you want to redirect the message.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>Edit the existing text as needed, and add your own text if desired.</LI><BR><BR>
  
  <LI>When you are done, click <B>Send</B> (or <B>Queue</B>).</LI>
</OL>
<P><B>Note:</B> It is good email courtesy to not do much editing of the message 
  you&'re redirecting. If you must add comments, we recommend that you enclose 
  them in square brackets, [ ], and include your initials: [Don: Please reply 
  to this right away. SD]</P>

<H4>Selecting a URL Helper Application</H4>
<P>Any string of text that Eudora recognizes as a "hot link," also known 
  as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), is active. Active URLs in incoming Eudora 
  messages are normally highlighted in blue text and blue underlining, and are 
  often enclosed by left and right angle brackets, "&lt; &gt;". You 
  normally <B>double-click</B> (or <B>Command-click</B>) on a URL in an incoming message to open the URL. This launches an Internet application that, for example, 
  opens a World Wide Web location, transfers a file, performs a gopher search, 
  performs a Ph, Finger, or LDAP query, etc. Typical URL prefixes include http, 
  ftp, gopher, ph, finger, ldap, and more.</P>

<P>A sample URL is &lt;http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora&gt;, which a web browser 
  would use to take you to QUALCOMM's main Eudora web page on the World Wide 
  Web. Eudora uses the OS default web browser to open this type of URL.</P>
