To Field: This location contains the e-mail address of the person you are sending the message to.
A valid e-mail address contains a username, the @ symbol (shift + 2), a domain name, and a .extension (Example: user@nowhere.com or johndoe@wcc.net).
You can send the same message to more than one person by seperating the addresses by a comma and a space (Example: user@nowhere.com, seconduser@aol.com, johndoe@wcc.net).
Netscape does NOT provide a line for the person's real name.
Subject Field: This location is for a brief idea of what the message will be about. It is not
required, but Netscape will remind you if it is left blank.
Message Field: This is where you type the body of your message. There are no limitations on the
number or type of characters you use. Lines will automatically wrap to the next one if they get too long, or you can insert them manually. Page breaks are also automatic, should
the recipient decide to print your message. You can use different fonts, colors, sizes, etc., but make sure that the
recipient will be able to view them. Some older computers don't recognize anything that isn't standard text.
