I want to write about all sorts of subjects; I like to share conversations with others.
January 15, 2006-saving, font, format

If someone sends you something and they have inserted it in the email,to save it you have to right click on it (a picture, for instance), click on "save picture as", browse to where you want to put the picture and click save.
Now, if you receive an attachment that you want to save, on the right-hand side of the message at the top you will find what looks like a paper clip. Click on it, and click "save attachments" browse to put it where you want and save. You could also have scrolled to the bottom of your message and it would have been there and you could have done what you did earlier with the inserted one.
An important thing to remember: if you are not 100% sure that the attachment doesn't contain a virus, you should always scan it before clicking on it to look at it.
How do you do that? Go to where you saved the attachment;right click and click on "scan with your anti-virus program"; give it time to do it's work; look at the result; close the anti-virus window and enjoy your attachment.Personally, I scan all my attachments before opening them; it takes only a few seconds.

OK, now I would like to go back to writing an email.
Open OE; click on create mail; click on writing area to activate it; right click and choose "FONT"; Now, from this window you can change the style of writing you are going to use; you can change the kind of Font you will use, the size, the color...
ok, supposing you already wrote your message and just decided after the fact that you wanted to change the font...all is not lost...drag your cursor along all the words (or go to edit at the top and click on "select all"); now right click on the selected words and change the font.
You don't have to do all the words either; you can do just a few,or a whole paragraph or whatever...
There is lots more that can be done with fonts but that is for another day.
Too tired to go on? Nah!!!Let's do a little bit more.
Go back to your New message; click on "Format" at the top; click on background;click on color; you see colors there; if you click on one, the background of your message will change to that color. You could also have a picture for your background but there is a bit of work to getting them to look good so we'll talk about that later; also, as you can see, you could add music to your background; that is nice when it is a special note; generally, the music is in "midi" form because it is not too large a file to carry in an email. Obviously, you need midis on your computer before you can include them in an email. We can do that later.
Finally, I want to show you one other trick; In your new message window,click on "apply stationery"; now, click on one of them in the list;see your background change; the list is short and if you enjoy having different backgrounds, there is more where those came from...we'll tackle that later.
I am sure that you have plenty of food for thought here; play with it; don't forget, if there is something more you want to know on the subject, just let me know...Ciao for now....
