4.5.4.1 Mailing list

BSCW helps you to send an email to an ad-hoc selection from the members of a workspace:

  • Click the group  icon next to the name of the workspace to display its members page.
  • Click  Edit    Select all   and/or the individual checkboxes to select the members to be included in your ad-hoc mailing list.
  • Click  | mail to |   on the selection menu bar to bring up your web browser's 'mail to' form.

BSCW will already have entered the primary email addresses of the users on your ad-hoc mailing list in the 'To:' field. You may enter additional email addresses or select them from your address book:

  • Click  To:   or  CC:   or  BCC:   to bring up the 'Address Book' form that lets you select from the entries in your Address Book.
Note:
The  | Send |   button may be offered also on the button bars for selected objects in folder pages. This action allows you to attach the contents of selected entries to an email whose recipients and text you specify in the 'Send an email' form.
The  | Send |   button may also be offered on the main menu bar in members pages or folder pages etc. There this action brings up a blank 'Send an email' form.

The difference between  | Send |   and  | mail to |   is as follows: `mail to` uses your browsers' embedded mailclient and 'Send' brings up a BSCW mail formular.
