Reading Messages 

To read a message: 

   *   To read the next unread message in your In Tray, or a message you
       have just composed, type READ Return 

   *   To read a particular message when you are in your In Tray or any
       other HP Desk area, type READ followed by the message number or
       subject.  The message subject must be enclosed in double quotes.
       For example:

            Intray > READ 3 Return 

            Intray > READ "review notes" Return 

       Further Information 

   *   When you read a message with a long Distribution List you will see
       only the word DISTRIBUTION. To look at the names on the
       Distribution List, open the message and type READ 1 Return 

   *   A message may be too long to be displayed on one screen.  Press
       Return to read the rest of the message, press the space bar to
       move to the next part of the message or type * if you don't want
       to continue reading the message.

   *   If you receive an encrypted message you will need the sender to
       give you the decryption key in order for you read it.

To find out if you have new mail: 

   *   If a message is delivered to your In Tray while you are using HP
       Desk you are notified of this by a message on your screen.  This
       message details the sender and subject of the message and tells
       you if the message is private or urgent.

       You may also receive this notification message when you are
       working outside HP Desk.

   *   While you are not using HP Desk, you can still find out if you, or
       anyone else on the system, has received any new mail.  At the
       colon prompt type NEWMAIL followed by a name or names, and press
       Return.  For example:

            :NEWMAIL williams Return 

            :NEWMAIL williams anderson fielding Return 

       A full name must be enclosed in double quotes.  For example:

            :NEWMAIL williams anderson "paul fielding" Return 

To read new mail: 

   1.  Type INTRAY Return, even if you are already in your In Tray.

       HP Desk lists the new messages you have received.

   2.  Type READ Return to read the first new message.

       You type READ Return to read each new message.
