19 - Using pop-up menus - Background Information
Click here for main text
The pop-up menu of an incoming message object includes options for reading the message, replying to the message, adding the sender's address to the address book folder, and viewing the raw mail message. This last option presents (a copy of) the original mail message file for inspection in its full form, i.e. including the header and full MIME-endecoded contents.

Likewise, the pop-up menu of an outgoing message object includes options for editing the message, adding the recipient's address to the address book folder, and sending the mail message. Using the latter option will send only the current mail message (provided it is ready for sending), leaving any other messages in the RexxMail 'Out' folder undisturbed.

In effect, RexxMail message objects, being independent from the RexxMail main folder window, can be used anywhere within the OS/2 system, just like any WPS object.

Note that a reply to a message will be created in the folder in which the original message resides, unless the original resides in any of the RexxMail message (sub)folders, in which case the reply message will be created in the RexxMail 'Out' folder.
