Quick Recipient List

It may be more convenient to address a message by selecting a nickname or full address from a predetermined Quick Recipient list. This eliminates the need to type frequently used nicknames or addresses in the fields of outgoing message headers. By selecting a nickname or address from the Quick Recipient list, the address or nickname is automatically entered in the desired field. The list may also be used to more easily reply to, forward or redirect messages.

Eudora uses a single Quick Recipient list that can be accessed via the New Message To, Reply To, Forward To, and Redirect To selections under the Message menu, the Insert Recipient selection under the Edit menu, and the Remove Recipient selection under the Special menu.

Creating the Quick Recipient List

The Quick Recipient list should consist of the nicknames or addresses of common correspondents. To add a nickname to this list, choose Nicknames from the Special menu (see the "Creating and Using Nicknames" section for more details). The Nicknames window is displayed. Select the desired nickname or nicknames from the Nickname: field. Then, click in the margin between the first letter of the nickname and the left side of the field. This places a bullet in the margin and adds the nickname(s) to the Quick Recipient list.

To add a full E-mail address to the Quick Recipient list, select the desired text that makes up the full address from any current message header. Then, select Add As Recipient from the Special menu.

Using the Quick Recipient List

The Quick Recipient list is displayed when you select New Message To, Reply To, Forward To, or Redirect To from the Message menu. To utilize the list, select a recipient using one of these commands. Releasing the mouse button performs the action (new message, reply, forward, redirect) and the chosen recipient is automatically inserted in the To: field of the new message header.

More than one nickname or address from the Quick Recipient list can be added to the To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields of any message. To do this, first place the blinking insertion point in the field where you want the nickname/address to be inserted. Then, select the desired recipient from the Insert Recipient list under the Edit menu. The chosen nickname/address is placed at the insertion point and a comma is added (if necessary) to separate the new address from the ones previously placed in the field.

Removing a Quick Recipient From the List

To remove a nickname/address entry from the Quick Recipient list, select it using the Remove Recipient option under the Special menu. When you release the mouse button, the selected recipient is deleted.

Note: Removing a nickname from the Quick Recipient list does not delete it from the Nicknames window, but removing a nickname from the Nicknames window deletes it from the Quick Recipient list.
