In this example the nickname already assigned to the address is “Betty Lou” and appears
as part of the email address. You can choose to use the same nickname, or you can use
any other nickname you like, such as “Betty” or maybe “Mom at the office”, or whatever
description will be most clear to you. For brevity, you can edit the address line to remove
the non-essential portions (the quote marks and the brackets), since you will be entering
your own nickname for this address. This is useful if you will be sending emails with your
MailBug that will have multiple addresses. In the example above, you could shorten the
address line so that the screen would show:
Nickname:
Betty – my friend in Arizona
Address:
bettylou@sampleaddress.com
The nickname you specify here is not inserted into an email when you use it – it only
shows up in your Address Book screen to help you remember to whom the address
belongs. Only what you enter on the address line in the screen above shows up on the
To:
line in your email. Note that the
<
and
>
brackets that enclose the email address are
not needed if you delete the nickname on the address line.

Starting a new message to someone already in your Address Book
To select an email address from your Address Book and start a new email message to
that address, press the
a
DDreSS
function key from the Email mailbox screen. This will
open your email address book and display all of the names and addresses that have
been previously saved there.
Addresses can be selected from the address book by moving the cursor in the left-most
column to the desired address entry using either the and arrow keys on the keyboard
or the scroll keys to the right of the display. The function keys at the bottom of the screen
will let you to specify how you want that address used on the
To:
line of your message.
Another, perhaps easier, selection method if you just want to add an address to the
To:
line of your message, is to scroll through the list of addresses until you see the one that
you want, and then press the corresponding side-key on either side of the display. If you
wish to use the selected address with the CC: or BCC: option, then press the appropriate
function key instead. After making your selection, the chosen email address will be
automatically inserted into a new email message and you will be transferred to the
Compose Email screen for that new email message you have just created.

– Allows you to move to the previous message in your Mailbox and open it for
viewing. Using the

viewing the first message in your mailbox.

Ctrl
key is held down)
– Allows you to edit the contents of a message that you were
composing, did not finish, and saved by pressing the
S
ave
key, or when the message
you were composing was automatically saved by MailBug when it timed out after
several minutes of inactivity. Pressing
c
HaNge
allows you to go back and resume
composing the message before sending it, or to modify a previously sent message
so that you can send it again to the same or different recipients. Once you are back
to composing or editing the email message, all the usual options for sending, saving,
or deleting are again available.
S
ave
a
DDr
(only visible when the
Ctrl
key is held down)
– Saves the sender’s or
recipient’s email address directly into your personal Email Address Book for easy
use in sending messages to this person in the future. When you have finished
entering the “nickname” for this person, press the
D

returned to viewing the sender’s message.

(only visible when the

that it will be protected and spared from deletion if/when you later choose to delete
“all” messages. Pressing the
m
ark
key again will “un-mark” the message. Marked
messages can only be deleted explicitly, not by deleting “all”. When you return to the
Email mailbox screen, a round dot (
) is used to indicate these marked messages.
u
Nwrap
/ w
rap
(only visible when the
Ctrl
key is held down)
– Allows you to
temporarily un-wrap the lines of text in an email message you are viewing. This is
useful if the message contains large tables or lists that use more than 79 characters
per line. This un-wrapped mode of viewing will only apply to this viewing session,
and will automatically terminate when you leave this screen. To view the longer lines
of text, use the and arrows on the keyboard to scroll the display horizontally.
While in the un-wrapped viewing mode, the function key changes to
w
rap
to allow
you to revert to the other viewing mode. The email message itself is not changed in
any way by use of this feature.
D
oNe
– Returns you to the Email mailbox screen.
