Email view

This page is where you view your mail.

Headers

The default headers shown are Date, From, To and Subject. If defined, Importance and Sensitivity are also shown. You can view the all of the headers of the email in totally unparsed form by clicking the All link on the right handside. Assuming there are To or Cc headers you will be able to add the addresses in these headers to your addressbook should you wish to by clicking the contact icon or the right hand side of the address.

Attachments

Any attachments will be shown beneath the headers. Each attachment will have options to either view or download it, or both. Viewing will cause V-webmail to try and show it, whereas downloading will cause V-webmail to try and force a download. The success of both of these are somewhat browser dependent. Some attachments will also have a "View as text" option, which can be useful for viewing textual attachments which do not have the correct mime type. Attached messages will popup a new window with the message displayed simialr to a normal message. You can reply/forward etc these attached messages as you would a normal message, however when you do the popups will close automatically.
