Composing Setting
If you are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, you can decide to enable the Use Rich Text/HTML Editing option. This setting allows you to use color, add formatting, and choose a font for the text in your e-mail message box. To change your setting, click the Use Rich Text / HTML Editing box to place a check mark in it to enable the feature, or clear it to disable the feature.
Sending Setting
You can adjust your sending options by clicking the box next to the feature to either place a check mark in it to enable the feature, or to clear it to disable the feature. There are two features you can select:
- Check spelling before sending messages: If this option is enabled, the spell checker will automatically start when you click the Send button on an e-mail. You can choose to correct any misspellings it finds before the e-mail is actually sent.
- Automatically add e-mail addresses to my Address Book: If this option is enabled, when you send e-mail to an e-mail address not in your address book, that e-mail address will be added to your address book so you can find it in the future.
Outbound Character Set
The Outbound Character set setting usage determines which character sets are used for reading and writing messages. This is set by default on Unicode (UTF-8). The other options available are for international users.
Signature Setting
You can include a signature on every e-mail you send with the AIM Mail service. You can adjust your signature options by clicking the box next to the feature to place a check mark in it to enable the feature, or clear it to disable the feature. There are two features you can select:
- Add this signature to messages sent using AIM Mail:: If this option is enabled, you can type a signature in the text box to be included in any message you compose. Once you have entered text in the box, the Include my online presence status in my signature option will become available.
- Include my online presence status in my signature: If this option and the Use Rich Text / HTML Editing option are enabled, an icon will be included in your signature that the recipient can click on to launch the AOL® Instant Messenger™ service, if it is installed on their computer.
Note: To delete a previously saved signature, click the Add this signature to messages sent using AIM Mail: box to clear it, then click the Save button.
