### Sending of Email Messages
The EMAIL system includes a screen editor, `EDIT.SYSTEM`, for message composition. It is also possible to use an external editor of your choice for composing emails.

Sending of an email message is a three step process:
Sending of an email message is a three step process (four steps if you also add attachements to the outgoing message):
- Use the `W)rite`, `R)eply` or `F)wd` functions in EMAIL to create an email template file and store it in `OUTBOX`.
- The system will automatically open the email template file in the editor, `EDIT.SYSTEM`.
- You may edit the file in `EDIT.SYSTEM` using the editing keys shown [here](README-edit.md). Press `Open Apple`-`S` to save the file to disk and `Open Apple`-`Q` to return to `EMAIL.SYSTEM`.
- Upon exit, `EDIT.SYSTEM` will prompt `Add attachments - Sure? (y/n)`. If you enter 'n' then `EDIT.SYSTEM` will simply reload `EMAIL.SYSTEM`. If you enter 'y', then `EDIT.SYSTEM` will instead load `ATTACHER.SYSTEM`, which allows you to add one or more file attachments to the email message. Once the attachments have been added, `ATTACHER.SYSTEM` will reload `EMAIL.SYSTEM`. `ATTACHER.SYSTEM` is discussed in more detail [here](README-attacher.md).
- Once you are back in the `EMAIL.SYSTEM` UI, you can choose to send the messages in `OUTBOX` to your mail server at any time. To do this, press `Open Apple`-`S` at the `EMAIL.SYSTEM` main menu. This will start `SMTP65.SYSTEM`, which sends each message to the SMTP server and moves it to the `SENT` mailbox.
1) Use the `W` (write), `R` (Reply) or `F` (Forward) functions in `EMAIL.SYSTEM` to create an email template file and store it in `OUTBOX`.
2) The system will automatically open the email template file in the editor, `EDIT.SYSTEM`. You may edit the file in `EDIT.SYSTEM` using the editing keys shown [here](README-edit.md). Press `Open Apple`-`S` to save the file to disk and `Open Apple`-`Q` to return to `EMAIL.SYSTEM`.
3) Upon exit, `EDIT.SYSTEM` will prompt `Add attachments - Sure? (y/n)`. If you enter 'n' then `EDIT.SYSTEM` will simply reload `EMAIL.SYSTEM`.

- `R)eply` creates a reply to the selected email, with the email included inline. You will be prompted for the cc only (you can leave this blank).
- `F)wd` forwards the selected email. You will be prompted for the recipient and cc (you can leave the cc blank, if desired.)
However you create your template email, take note of the filename which is displayed in the status line. The file will be created in the `OUTBOX` directory (`/H1/DOCUMENTS/EMAIL/OUTBOX` with our example settings.)
### Sending of News Articles
...
Emai//er includes a screen editor, `EDIT.SYSTEM`, for message composition. It is also possible to use an external editor of your choice for composing emails.
Sending of an news article message is a three step process, very similar to that for sending an email:
1) Use the `Closed Apple`-`P` (post news article), or `Closed Apple`-`F` (follow-up to current article) functions in `EMAIL.SYSTEM` to create an article template file and store it in `NEWS.OUTBOX`.
2) The system will automatically open the article template file in the editor, `EDIT.SYSTEM`. You may edit the file in `EDIT.SYSTEM` using the editing keys shown [here](README-edit.md). Press `Open Apple`-`S` to save the file to disk and `Open Apple`-`Q` to return to `EMAIL.SYSTEM`.
3) Once you are back in the `EMAIL.SYSTEM` UI, you can choose to send the messages in `NEWS.OUTBOX` to your news server at any time. To do this, press `Closed Apple`-`S` at the `EMAIL.SYSTEM` main menu. This will start `NNTP65UP.SYSTEM`, which sends each message to the NNTP server and moves it to the `NEWS.SENT` mailbox.
