3. You can begin to read any of the messages
in the various project newsgroups by clicking on the newsgroup name so
that the messages will appear in the top right frame. Clicking on the
Subject heading will reveal the message in the lower right frame.
To post a new message to any iEARN newsgroup, simply click "New Msg"
to receive a blank form. You will need to enter a Subject before posting
your message. Once you are done, click "Send". This will only work if
you have already configured Netscape Messenger to send and receive email.
Under Preferences, check to make sure that your email address is entered
in the 'Identity' section and your incoming and outgoing mail servers
are correct in the 'Mail Servers' section.
To reply to an existing message, click "Reply". Notice that both the
"Reply" and "Reply All" buttons have small triangles pointing downward,
indicating more options. When you hold down "Reply" you can choose to
send "to Sender only" or "to Newsgroup". On the next button, "Reply
All", you can send "to Sender and All Recipients" or "to Sender and
Newsgroup". When sending messages to the iEARN newsgroups, we recommend
that you choose the option "to Sender and Newsgroup" so that your message
both goes to the public group, but also directly to the sender, should
they not be checking the newsgroups regularly.
