Subject

Attached

This area contains the standard email message address fields.

  • The To field defaults to the sender of the original email message. Click the To button to add additional addresses.

Note: Responses to messages sent with an alternate "Reply-To" address are delivered to that address. If you selected Reply All, replies are delivered to the "Reply-To" address and all of the original recipients, but not to the sender’s original address.

  • Subject defaults to the subject of the original email message.

Note: Subject is limited to 1024 characters in the CIC client. However, many email clients have much smaller limits so the recipient may see a truncated subject line.

  • The Attached box displays the names of attached files. The Attached button enables you to attach additional files.

Note: The Attached box and Attached button appear in the Email window only after you use File > Insert Attachment to attach at least one file.

Formatting toolbar

Note: There are two versions of the editing toolbar: the MSHTML and Telerik toolbars. Your CIC administrator determines which version is available to you. For a description of these toolbars, see Reply to an HTML Email Message.

The text formatting toolbar appears in the E-mail Reply window under certain conditions:

  • If the original ACD-routed email message is formatted using HTML, you have the option of using text formatting tools in your email reply. For a description of the available tools, see Reply to an HTML Email Message.

  • If you are creating an email message to send on behalf of a workgroup, the text formatting tools are always available to you.

  • If the original email message was sent in plain text (no formatting), the Email Reply window does not include a text formatting bar. Your email reply is sent in plain text.
