So you have found a fantastic site whilst you were
surfing the Net. Your grandkids have shown you a new site on Harry
Potter, or the Exterminator XXXX. You want to let your friends know
the exact address (Universal
Resource Locator)
of these exciting pages. You have written these down to be included
in your next e-mail to all of your friends and friends' friends.
Naturally you will be using Blind
Carbon Copy,
to prevent broadcasting your friends' precious e-mail addresses
falling into unwanted hands.
There is an easier way to do it, and this is how
it is done. 2. ....Click on the "ARROW" pointing downwards on the right hand side of the mail icon. This will disclose a dropdown- menu consisting of : Read mail; New message; Send link; Send page; Read News. 3. ....Scroll down to "Send link" and left click on it. Shortly you should see an automatically created new e-mail, complete with the URL's shortcut sitting in the attachment bar. It also has the extension and the size in kilobytes displayed. Simply fill in the name(s) of the recipient(s) in the appropriate headings. In case of multiple mailing I use my hotmail address as the main recipient in the "TO" header. 4. ....If you really want to do a good job, you should include the URL in the text. You can do this by copying the URL in the "ADDRESS BAR" of that particular site. Right click (in the Address Bar!), copy, go to the text of your e-mail, right click, and then paste. Type in whatever else you want to say and send it away. To simplify things it is best to take a copy of
the "ADDRESS BAR" first.
Now go to "MAIL" etc. Click on View>TOOLBARS>CUSTOMISE, there is a two sided toolbar displayed here. Highlight the missing icon, in this case "MAIL" in the left pane, click on ADD, then close. Your desired icon will appear with your other displayed icons. Use reverse to get rid of unwanted or seldom used icons. ........................ The Surfer |
