HTML Email Composer
If you are using IE5+ or Firefox 1.5+ you can use the powerful HTML email-compose function. This allows you to add spice & depth to your outgoing emails by using HTML tags to change the mail's font, color, size and message formatting. Using HTML tags you can embed anything you wish into your outgoing email, from HTML tables to images and hyperlinks. Define your own HTML tags by selecting the HTML Source button, try copy and pasting HTML tags from another application!

Note, this feature is only available on recent Web-browsers.

Attachments
To attach files to your email messages, first click the Attach button in the compose screen. A new window will popup to add attachments; click the "Browse" button to select a file from your hard drive. Click "OK" when you have selected the appropriate file attachment. Once files are uploaded, you can check the size of the attachment and choose to delete the file. Multiple attachments are supported; due to security and server-space attachments can be a maximum of<2-10MB in size. For exact size limits contact your administrator.

Signatures
When sending your email message, you can define a signature to be attached to the bottom of the email message. See the preferences panel for more info.
