A folder message is displayed as an HTML page, containing the important fields of the message header, the decoded message body, and the controls. Text, HTML, and graphics MIME parts are displayed, other parts (attachments) are shown as icon links that allow you to download these parts.

The multipart-messages are displayed according to the MIME multipart rules, and the nested messages (forwarded messages, reports, digests) are displayed, too.

The message header (and message headers of all embedded messages) has icon-links that allow you to view the complete header information, and to view the undecoded message body.

You can use the following controls on Message pages:

 

Next Unread

Close Unread

Click this control to mark this message as unread (removes the read marker), to close the message page, and to open the folder page.

Click this control to remove the deleted marker from the message.

Edit Draft

This control appears only for draft messages; click this control to open the message in the Compose page, so you can complete it and send it to its recipients.

You can open the Settings page and specify how messages should be displayed:

This option specifies how the I-Mail Interface should process messages in the HTML format:

in frame

In this mode the HTML portions of messages are displayed in an embedded frame, providing complete separation of the message HTML code from the I-Mail Interface Mailbox page code. If you use a browser that does not support embeded frames (Netscape 4.x), you will have to click a special link to open the HTML portion of the message in a separate window.

 

inline

In this mode the HTML portions of messages are inserted into the I-Mail Interface Mailbox page code. The I-Mail Interface checks the message HTML portion code and removes some tags that may distort the entire I-Mail Mailbox page.

 

Fields

The fields listed in this set are displayed in the message headers.
