Replying to a Message
Messages are a quick way for users to communicate information to each other. When you get a
message, the down arrow on the Messages toolbar blinks as does the icon on the Message Bar
button in the Main toolbar; this icon (which looks like a single sheet of paper) also blinks in the
status bar when new unread messages are received. The blinking stops after the message is read.
When getting a new message, you can reply to it immediately. The Reply option is only activated
in iNEWS if you have received a message.
To reply to a message:
1. On the Messages toolbar on your iNEWS workspace, click Reply.
Remember that the Reply button is only activated in iNEWS if you have received a message.
2. Enter your reply in the message box.
3. Click the Send button on the Messages toolbar or press Enter.
Your reply is sent back to the original sender of the message.
Recalling a Message
When you log out of iNEWS, all the messages you have already read are erased unless you have
saved them. However, while you are still logged in, you can recall a message from Message
History if you want to review the contents of the message.
To recall a message:
t Select Communicate > Messages > Show History (or press Shift-F8).
The Message History dialog box opens.
