3.1 Using the Mail Tool
3.1.3 Responding to a received message
To reply to a message that you have received, open the Compose menu. You are given the choice of replying to the sender or to all recipients of the message. You are also given a choice of including the original message or not. Mail is frequently sent out in a mass mailing to many recipients who happen to be on a mail alias. Mail aliases are often quite large and general, so use the Reply to All option with caution. If you want to reply and include the message you received, you can bypass the Compose menu and click on the Reply, Include Message icon on the toolbar of the Mail Tool. After you choose a method of reply, the window shown in Figure will be displayed. By default, the original Subject text will be used, preceded by Re:, and the To: entry will automatically be set to the Email address of the sender of the message.
