Composing Mail

To compose a message in Thunderbird, click on the ``Write'' icon in the toolbar. This will open a blank e-mail message. Enter the address of your correspondent in the ``To:'' field. Include a subject at your discretion. Finally, type the text of your message into the message body beneath the subject field. When you are satisfied with your message, click on the ``Send'' icon. You will be automatically prompted to spellcheck the document. After you have completed the spellcheck, click ``Send'' one more time to send the message on its way.
