Compose

The compose page (the compose.jsp file), is where users compose a new email message. The Compose option is available in the mail home page, which is presented by the summary.jsp file:

When users select this option, control is first passed to the pickaddr.jsp file, (even when an address book communication channel has not been configured), then control is passed to the compose.jsp file. The compose page prompts users for standard email fields, such as: to, cc, subject, and message body. The interface is intuitive; users simply supply the requested fields, submit the message, and return to Inbox.

An email message composed on a mobile device can be time-consuming; therefore, users are allowed to define up to nine preset messages. These predefined replies can be selected for inclusion at the beginning of the compose screen. You can create a predefined reply using the Portal Server 7.1 CLI. For more information on creating a predefined reply using a CLI, see the Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Command Line Reference guide.

Follow the procedure, to create a predefined reply using the Portal Server 7.1 administration console.

To Create a Predefined Reply

1. Log in to the standard Portal Server 7.1 with an HTML browser

2. Scroll to the Mail channel

3. Click Edit Mail (the pencil icon)

4. Click the Mobile Mail button.

   Predefined replies have a 30-character maximum limit.
