Email from Business Contacts Screen
oakparkdoug 2/25/2007 3:40:05 AM
I like to send a thank you letter to a new contact when I create it. Is it
possible to send an email from the business contact screen?

Doug:

Just click on the contact's email address in the contact record and it will
address an email to that person. Sending a hard copy printed letter is
another story -- that has to be initiated from Word.

HTH,
Lon

Lon,

When I am in the Business Contact screen and click on the email address, it
brings up a small email properties pop up. Do I have a setting wrong
somewhere perhaps?

OOPS! My bad... I was thinking about the website but wasn't looking at the
screen when I answered...

Click on New History Item and choose Email Message. That will start an
email dialog and attach it to History.

Thanks,
Lon
