Using Mailer Mnemonics and Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use keyboard alternatives to the mouse, called mnemonics, to navigate and perform some functions in Mailer. The mnemonics and shortcuts in Table 8-6 apply to Mailer only. Letters shown in uppercase should be typed as lowercase.

For more information on keyboard shortcuts, see Appendix A, Keyboard Shortcuts for the Desktop.

Note -

Some Mailer shortcuts may interfere with UNIX key bindings. For more information on these bindings, see Chapter 10, Using Text Editor .
