Creating a New Message
When you create a new message, a new thread based on that message is started in the discussion forum interface. Replies to your message are added to the thread.
- In the side navigation bar, click My Forums or All Forums.
- Select a forum.
- Click Create New Message. Depending on the forum's settings, you may be prompted to log in.
- Enter your email address (if prompted), and then type a subject in the Subject box and the body of your message in the Message Body box.
- Click Attach File if you'd like to send an attachment with your message. Note that you can attach any type of file, i.e. text, csv, exe, pdf, scripts, etc., but Aurea List Manager warns you if the file is over 1 MB because many email programs do not allow attachments larger than this. Although you are warned, the message is still sent even if it exceeds 1 MB.
