Modifying an E-mail List

Once a list has been created, it can be changed or deleted. To completely delete the list, select it in the contact list window and click on the "Delete" button. To make changes to the list, select the list name in the window and click on the "Properties" button. The "Mailing List" list box will reappear, as shown in Figure 3 '1, except that it will contain any information previously entered. To completely remove a name from the list, place the cursor anywhere within the line that you wish to remove, and click the "Remove" button. To make changes to a name, place the cursor in the line at the appropriate location and, using the backspace key, remove the appropriate characters. Type in the appropriate changes. If you are familiar with a windows based word processor, you may use many of the standard text editing techniques to make changes to the names in this list. To add a new name to the list, place the cursor anywhere within the line containing the last entry in the list and press the "enter" key. The cursor will move to the next line and the new name can be added. When you are satisfied with the changes, click on the "OK" button.

The New Message Button


A new E-mail message can be sent from within the Address Book. To begin, select the name of the person, or the mail list name, from the Address book list. Multiple names may be selected from the list by holding the Ctrl key while selecting. Once the names are selected, click on the "New Msg" button at the top of the window. A new composition window will appear with the names from the list as the message recipient(s). If your recipient list is long, you may have to scroll the list to see all the names. For further information on using the composition window, please refer to the section "Netscape Messenger".

Call Button

The "Call" button is used to start Netscape Conference. This feature is beyond the scope of this manual but may be addressed in future publications.
