Back at the window from before click APPLY and then OK. The next time you click on the Compose button you will automatically use the stationery you picked out.
If you do not use the COMPOSE button but rather click on the word COMPOSE (ACTIONS in Outlook 98) all the way at the top of the Outlook window, then you will be presented with a choice of NEW MESSAGE USING in which case you can pick any of the last 10 Stationery used or choose NO STATIONERY. This is especially useful if you know the person you are sending a message to does not use Outlook or Outlook Express.
Eudora Pro 4.02 with basic HTML Feature Users do the following:
You have to have IE4 (will not work with Netscape!!) as the "Mail reader" set in the options of Eudora. To achieve this, go to Tools, then Options, then Viewing Mail and there you will have to choose "Use Microsoft's viewer".
You can select a Stationery to use by clicking on Tools then Options and then Sending Mail and there you will choose "Select a Default Stationery"
You can also select from a list in Message and then "New Message With"
Note: I personally do not use Eudora, and this information was provided by Majik. If this does not work for you and your EUDORA program, do not e-mail me as I do not know anything about this particular program. Thanks!
Also Note the following Facts:
You will not see the background, special fonts used for the Stationery, scrolling and/or animation of backgrounds and/or pictures, or hear any sound(s) while composing your e-mail. This only works if you are the recipient of the e-mail and/or you have the 'Preview mode for your email messages turned on.
*NOTE* People who have web based email addresses like Yahoo, Excite, Hotmail (many others) or use Netscape, AOL and various other email programs, will not be able to view the stationery properly, but rather get an attachment at best. So make sure to check with the recipient before sending Stationery email.
