A 
login has a configuration parameter called sender email.
Contents |
Sending emails for logins
The 
send email function will allow you to send an email out for a login. You also find this icon in the login list, as well as in the folder list. Should multiple logins point to the same folder then you will see one icon for each folder. If you hover over the icon, you will be able to read the name of the login.
Sending emails for files
If you send email from the 
edit file function, then the email will point directly to that file, but people can navigate around the login that you sent the email against.
send email yourself
When sending email yourself you have the following choices:
copy email text into copy paste buffer
clicking this allows you to paste the email text into any application that you can paste text into.
send email with your mail program
clicking here will open the mail program you use on this computer via the mailto: link and will fill out subject and email text for you. All you need to do is add the addresses.
email text displayed
when you do not enter any email address on the first screen then you will see the email how it would send. You could manually copy paste portition of the generated email for instance.
Display name
INTERDUBS can use a display name alongside the actual email address. This is optional and be used in the from as well as for the recipient. Please note that the display name for the recipient will be visible for your client.
Entering an email addresses
First you enter the email addresses of the people that should receive the email for the login. See below for ways how you can enter email addresses in Interdubs.
typing a new address
You can enter email addresses with the keyboard into the email field of the first screen. If you enter a space or "," the email will be added above in the list of emails to be used.
autofind
If you start to type an email name, and the email is in the 
address book then you will find it as an option 
below. Click on the button with the name in order to add the email address.
history
Interdubs keeps track of the emails that you sent. To send email to the same group of people again you can simply click on the history listing in the lower part of the screen. All people that did receive the email before will be added.
editing
you can 
remove email addresses from the current sender list.
automatic BCC
You can configure to send a BCC email to an address you define. Some companies like to keep a record of all emails sent out via INTERDUBS. In order to activate this feature set the email address(es) you like to use in the configuration of your segment. Look for email address(es) to always bcc on mailings in the config screen.
actual email to send
Once you are done with the email you can select the on to step 2 button to continue.
address check
If an address new then Interdubs will do a simple check if it can find a computer on the internet that is designated to handle email for this domain. If there is an error in this phase then you will receive a warning message. It is likely that you have a typo after the @ sign. If Interdubs should be wrong about this part, then please let me know, which address it wrongfully complained about. If address is new but the system can find the part behind the '@' sign, then interdubs will offer to check the full email address in a new page. This does sometimes works, but some mail servers are configured to always acknowledge the existence ('yahoo' for instance), or they will not cooperate with user lookups. Google gmail works pretty well here.
subject and email text
Interdubs looks up the configuration values for the subject and email text and fills out the fields with the proper values. You can alter the email you send. If you find yourself doing so frequently then you should probably rather change the configuration values. You can have your own personal email default text that INTERDUBS will use. You can set this under personal preferences
show other people who received an email
Interdubs sends each person an invidual email. This is a feature. If you like for people to see who else has gotten the Interdubs email then you can leave this box checked.
line space doubling
Some mail programs have been reported to have no line spacings in Interdubs emails. I am pretty sure that this problem has been addressed or respectively was caused by the receiving system. I left this checkbox in the end of the page, so that you can use it if you need to. If you do, then please let me know so that I can look into the issue further.
Email log
All emails that you send from within Interdubs will be logged. You can access this information with the 
email log icon in the edit login function.
Email template
The email text will be generated based on the email template configuration parameters. These can be, as all configuration paramaters, changed for the entire segment, specific logins or in what's called a look. See email template for details.
Email signature
The text of an email gets extended by a signature section in the end. This is made out of two parts:
Company signature
This usually contains your companies address and contact info. Having real information in this section will improve your chances of spam filters letting your email go through. Especially when the actually message is very short.
INTERDUBS signature
There is a default INTERDUBS signature that will be appended after the company signature. Of course you can override or even remove the default by changing the configuration value for this. Please note that very short messages might be caught in spam filters easily.
