11 - Viewing an incoming message
Click here for background information
Double-click the incoming message file object to open it. To show that the message has been opened, the icon changes to a text-filled sheet of paper sticking out of an opened envelope.

A readable text version of the message is opened on the desktop. Any header information is aligned and added to the top of the message text, separated from it by a horizontal line.

Any other content is extracted from the message and presented in the form of separate attachment files in a folder on the desktop.

The attachments folder is a normal folder, and objects in it can be opened, copied, moved, deleted, etc. like any other OS/2 object.
