Note 

If you are using the Send To iView, you see a summary of the e-mail that you have just sent. If you launch the Send E-Mail function from the Collaboration Launch Pad, you do not receive a summary by default.

 

Caution 

The Send E-Mail function shows the HTML editor when using Internet Explorer. If you use Netscape, it shows a plain text area. This means that you cannot send HTML e-mails if you are using a Netscape browser.
