><P
>The <SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Mail Reader</SPAN

when <SPAN

> is started. It is divided into three panes:</P
><P
><DIV
CLASS="VARIABLELIST"
><DL
><DT
>Folders pane (upper left pane)</DT
><DD
><P
>This pane contains a list of your message folders (other email programs call them 
mailboxes). If there's a number after the folder name this indicates that this folder
contains unread mails. To select a folder, simply click on it. The messages contained in the folder
will now appear in the Headers pane. The number of unread messages and the
total number of messages in the selected folder is now displayed in the status bar.
The folders can be displayed in both a short view, which takes up only a small
portion of the left side of the screen, and a long view, which takes up the
entire left side of the screen but is able to show more mailboxes. See 
the <A
HREF="secfolders.html"
>Folders Section</A
> for more information about how to use
folders.</P
></DD
><DT
>Headers pane (upper right pane)</DT
><DD
><P
>This pane lists header
information (message Status Flags, Sender, Subject, Date) for the messages in the 
currently selected folder. Clicking on a header
will select that message and display it in the Message pane. You can also select
a series of messages by clicking on one message, holding down the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Shift</B
> key, and
clicking on another message. The two messages you just clicked on will be
selected, along with all the messages in between. By holding down the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Ctrl</B
> key
you can select any number of messages without those in between. You may sort the messages by
clicking on the column that you wish to sort. If you click on the same
column more then once, sort order will toggle between ascending/descending.
If you click on the Subject column, you can toggle sorting between Subject
ascending/descending and Status ascending/descending.</P
></DD
><DT
>Message pane (lower pane)</DT
><DD
><P
>Displays the header and body of the currently selected message. Attachments
appear at the bottom of the message as icons based on the <SPAN
CLASS="ACRONYM"
>MIME</SPAN
> type of the
attachment. You can scroll through the message page by page using the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Page Up</B
>
and <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Page down</B
> keys, or line by line using the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>arrow up</B

also use the following key shortcuts to skip through your messages without
having to use the mouse:
