Hows come I cant get the "color" or "size" options ect to work on my Yahoo email compose page?

When I click on the tool bar for font, color, size...nothing happens..

Hows come I cant get the "color" or "size" options ect to work on my Yahoo email compose page?
you have to click on it, then type to make it work, or highlight the text you want to format, than change the size etc





i know this seems a bit obvious, but you would be surprised at the amount of daft mistakes some of my colleagues call me with


I use caps because i can see it better? why can't i stay on my yahoo when i compose a email?

i SIGNED UP FOR MY YAHOO I REALLY LIKE IT IT HAS CHANGE OF PATTERENS AND COLORS AND I JUST LIKE THE WHOLE OPTION OF BEING ABLE TO CHANGE THE SCREEN. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WHEN I CHECK MY EMAIL AND RESPOND IT GOES BACK TO THE OLD YAHOO MAIL SCREEN. HOW DO I GET THE MY YAHOO TO REMAIN THE SAME WHEN I COMPOSE AND EMAIL?

I use caps because i can see it better? why can't i stay on my yahoo when i compose a email?
You moved from your home page to mail page. Just go back to homepage.
Reply:Using all CAPS is considered VERY impolite.


Write it in Word then make a case change before pasting it into email or yahoo.


Also, lower case is much easier to read!


Try to increase the font size but use lower case.

The message area is totally blank. I don't know how you will be able to contact me via email, as I cannot open messages!

Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. Suggested cures range from Update Adobe Flash Player and Javascript to clear IE7 cache, cookies, and browsing history. Different things seem to work for different people. It's causing attachments to not show, 999 errors where it won't let you do a particular action and some people cannot send receive delete or move mail. It's not just Vista either it's happening to some of us on XP. I have been advised to use this site to view my mail, www.mail2web.com if all else fails go back to classic mail via this link. http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?s... click yes when asked do you want to opt out. Hope this helps.
Reply:Has not happened to me. But is happening to alot of people. Might be regional. I do wish people would say where they are. There could be local server failure.


However, most likely you need to update Java, Adobe Flash Player and Quicktime.


I do use Firefox Mozilla which seems to avoid most of these issues, although it might just be because I have the recent updates. Even at that I recently could not get yahoo videos, but updating the Flash Player fixed that.
Reply:I have the same problem. And, I can't figure out how to get help. Do I need to create a new account? That seems difficult to me. Hope some one can help me. I can open the message in the print window mode.

It was fine this morning and it's affecting 2 out of 3 of my yahoo accounts. Wondering if anyone else has this problem and if yahoo's fixing this?

My email function just broke - I cannot reply or compose because I get no text box. What's up?
yes many users are having trouble with their E-mail accounts, this is a yahoo glitch.


Yahoo is changing mail formats, due to the launch they are ready to make around Mid-end of this year for their new Universal profile.





They are working in the mail on sections. so you just have to be patient and keep trying.





Hope this helps, and good luck to you.

When I try to compose a yahoo email it fills in addresses from past emails. How do I stop this?

do a disk clean up! it erases temporary memory files. That will do it! if you schedule those every night, or on startup, you won't have a problem with it and your pc will run better.

My email is stuck in compose mode. It happened after sending a yahoo greeting card. Now I cant access my inbox

I am having to use my daughter s email adress.


I can only send emails I cant view any that I have received. I know that I am getting them but it wont let me open them.

My email is stuck in compose mode. It happened after sending a yahoo greeting card. Now I cant access my inbox
I found this in the help pages:





Q: Why does Yahoo! Mail get stuck on the “Compose” screen when I log in?





A: Getting unstuck from your Compose screen.





Sorry -- we've noticed this problem too. The glitch is a troublesome greetings "cookie" (a little file that's sent to us once you login, letting us know it's you). The solution is to delete this naughty cookie, and the next time you login to Yahoo! Mail we'll replace it with a new and improved greetings cookie.





Here's how:





Internet Explorer 6.0 (Windows):





Close Internet Explorer everywhere it's open.


Click the "Start" menu and select "Control Panel".


Double-click the "Internet Options" applet.


Click the "Delete Cookies" button and confirm deletion by clicking the "OK" button.


Click the second "OK" button.





FireFox 1.0.x and 1.5 (Windows):





From the "Tools" menu, select "Options".


Click the "Privacy" icon and select the "Cookies" tab.


Click the "View Cookies" button.


Select "yahoo.com" and click the "Remove Cookie" button.


Click the "Close" button.


Click the "OK" button.





Safari 2.0:





From the Safari menu, click "Preferences".


Select the "Security" tab.


Click the "Show Cookies" button.


Select all Yahoo! related cookies (you can select multiple cookies by holding down the shift key) and click the "Remove" button.


Click the "Done" button.





FireFox 1.0.x and 1.5 (Mac):





From the FireFox menu, select "Preferences".


Click the "Privacy" icon and select the "Cookies" tab.


Click the "View Cookies" button.


Select "yahoo.com" and click the "Remove Cookie" button.


Click the red button in the upper left-hand to close this window.


Click the red button in the upper left-hand to complete the change.


When I press compose an email the blank body of the draft is missing. Same thing when pulling up a saved draft

I press compose on the mail page and the "to" and "from" blocks appear, as well as an attach file button, but the blank body block does not appear, so I can't write anything, nor will it send just a blank email.





what can i do to resolve this?

When I press compose an email the blank body of the draft is missing. Same thing when pulling up a saved draft
One possibility: You may possibly have a corrupt cache file -- it makes all KINDS of things go wonky. Try this: clear your history, temporary files %26amp; cookies, reboot and retry. I鈥檝e had people tell me this worked, recently, others say it did not, so I guess is varies.





Another possibility is an incompatible browser; I've seen others mention this as a problem recently. You may need to upgrade your browser, switch to another one, or go back to regular Yahoo Mail (I'm assuming you have beta now!).





If none of this works, contact:

User: Supervisor


Action: Blocked


Type: Ad

Although, no portion of the Yahoo URL appears in the Ad Block site or URL list, disabling Ad Blocking allows for a successful compose and send.





Check for similar security applications on your Mac and see if disabling them temporarily provides relieve.





I've opened a case with Yahoo Customer Care to see if they can narrow down the problem further.

Please help me fix it as I cannot use yahoo email without sending email. thanks

My yahoo account is not working right - about a week ago it stopped letting me reply, compose or forward email?
Yahoo and IE seem to be incompatible right now at medium to high cookie settings. You may access Yahoo Mail with a different browser, such as Firefox. Just type yahoo.mail.com in the address bar. I am able to get through with Firefox, and I hope you can too.





Or, you can set your cookies at the lowest possible setting, and that should work too. It bugs me to have to do this, but at least it will help you get your emails if you are browsing with Internet Explorer. You can always reset your cookies after accessing your email.
Reply:In our case it was the Ad Blocking feature listed under Nortons Anti-spam in our Norton's Security program. When we turned off the Ad Blocker yahoo mail compose and reply returned. the problem with doing that is you will have to put up with annoying ads that were otherwise blocked.


I cannot compose an email with my yahoo mail?

after filling out all the requested field my compose box seems to not be working meaning (noting cannot be typed within it )what should i do

I cannot compose an email with my yahoo mail?
Many problems can be resolved (blank email text, cannot Compose/Reply, etc.) by the simple cleanup steps below:





1. Close all browser windows. 2. Open a new browser window. 3. Click on Tools at the top of your screen. 4. Click on the bottom choice - Internet Options. 5. On the Internet Options drop-down menu, go to the middle section titled Temporary Internet Files. 6. Delete all cookies (button in the middle) 7. Delete all temporary-files (button in the middle) - this step took about 3 minutes - patience! 8. Clear History (button on bottom right-hand corner) when done with all cleanups, click OK at the bottom of the Internet Options screen.


This did work for me, Good luck!

Yahoo has been having major server issues since at LEAST Jan. 10, seemingly just with particular servers. And what's happening to you is unfortunately one of the many problems that people are having because of them, and Yahoo doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry to solve them. Their "tech support" is nothing but a joke right now. And the problems are not just w/Yahoo Beta or IE7; I and others not using either are having similar problems. But both do have more problems; if you're using Beta, it's still in the testing stage and has a lot of problems, so go back to original Yahoo mail, and the same w/IE7, go back to IE6 until MS irons out all the problems.


I've had to use another acct.provided free by my ISP to send/rcv important e-mails since Jan. 10, and it's been working just fine the whole time. If you don't have another acct.w/another provider besides Yahoo, I'd strongly advise to get one; it makes a good backup in case of problems like this.


Please see my posting from Fri. Jan. 12 under the heading "Anyone having problems of any kind w/Yahoo Mail, PLEASE READ THIS" for more info and on reporting problems to Yahoo.


And since that original posting, they've also sent another e-mail that they've escalated the problem (or should I say problems!) to their engineering department, which is an indication of major problems, and not just a minor S/W "glitch."

This is the new upgrade they did. I do not like it. I clicked on mail classic this morning and nothing happened. The OPT out button does not bring the old one back either. Look on your email page and it will say "Classic with a new Twist" click on it and it will show you all the changes they made. When something is not broken don't fix.

I am having trouble with my yahoo!! I cannot compose an email..........help. I need a website!!!!!!!!!?
I'm having the same problem!
Reply:Me too! the chat box appeared (its now deflault) and it all went pear shaped, literally fine one minute rubbish the next!


I spent two hours on live help last night jumping through numerous virtual hoops, with no resolution but a promise it was being 'passed to engineering' and I would get an email from them in due course; (made me laugh as they wanted a screen dump of the problem of what happened when I clicked compose....but my 'compose function' to send it doesn't work! I had to send it via my OHs account.). Anyway no contact from 'engineering' today (I can read emails). Went back onto live 'help' to be told there were no time lines or targets for getting back to me and I had to basically wait and see if and when it gets solved. But its ok as I have been assured that they are working on it as a matter of 'urgency'......however they can't tell me even when I will be contacted by them so could be a day, a week...a month. Bit cheesed off I have to say.


When I compose an email, why is there no body?

Clear your browsers cashe when this happens.


How do i get photo mail option into my email compose?

A one-time (per PC) installation is required in order to send PhotoMail. To send a PhotoMail you must be composing in color and graphics rather than plain text. You must also have a international language setting that allows PhotoMail. Click the link below and click Get Started to install the Quick Select Tool.





Yahoo! PhotoMail is not available in Yahoo! Mail Beta yet, but in original Yahoo! Mail click Insert Photos above the compose window, that is where PhotoMail Quick Select Tool is located after you download and install it. If you're using Yahoo! Mail Beta, you can switch back to original Yahoo! Mail to use Yahoo! PhotoMail and then switch back to Beta if you want, that is what I do. It's very simple and easy to switch back and forth.

--------------------------


See Body of messages.


The message is there. Your PC and/or Yahoo Mail are causing this trouble. Lets see if


we can fix it. Follow all my steps. But do one at a time.





First. Yahoo All-New Mail? Is that what you are using?


If so Clear your browsers cashe and cookies.


In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.


On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Delete.


Click Delete files, and then click Yes. Click cookies and delete them.


Click Close, and then click OK.


--------------------------------------...


You did that right? Now Completely re-Download all your messages. Every one of them.


Wait until they are downloaded. Don`t hurry. Hows that?


--------------------------------------...


Well try this. = 2. In the new Yahoo! Mail, you don鈥檛 do this with your browser anymore.


Now, just change your


character encoding setting right in Yahoo! Mail!





Here鈥檚 how:





In the toolbar, click More Actions and select Set Encodings.


From the list that appears, select the encoding that matches the message鈥檚 content.


Note: Only one character encoding set may be viewed at a time. And in this case,


changing your


browser鈥檚 encoding setting will not work. Hows that?


--------------------------------------...


Still can`t get it? Try Classic Mail at the top of your page. (Don`t worry you can return)


Hows that?


--------------------------------------...


Now you are in Classic Mail Right? Messages all there?


If not try this. = Select any email where the header information is displayed, but there is


nothing in the


"body" of the message where you would expect to find text, etc.


Move your mouse to the area of the expected "body" of the message and right-click...on


the menu that appears, click on "Encoding"...on the menu that appears, if "Auto Select"


has a check mark, leave it as is...if not click "Auto Select"; then this menu will


disappear...right click again in the "body" to cause the same menu to display again...then


click on "Western European (Windows)"...you should now be able to view the "body" of


all messages that you couldn't view before...obviously, if the problem somehow occurs


again, do the same procedure described above again. I have no idea how or why these


settings get "changed" or "corrupted" after everyday use, but apparently they sometimes


do.


Hows that?


-----------------------------------


Ok PC has problems then. Update your operating system, Browser, Shockwave Flash ,


Java. Everything. Get all patches. The whole works. Also try Firefox browser.





Note in Classic Yahoo Mail in a pinch try this. =


Put message in Print Copy. Then read it. OR


Click Reply on Message to read it. Then backbutton out. OR


Put message in Excel or Wordpad to read it. OR Forward to another working email


account.

I been having the same problem for 5 days at least. Yahoo client care are polite in responding


but no solutions. At first they tried to tell me it was with my computer and gave me a list of


"try this" and "try that", none of which worked. I'm getting frustrated and ready to switch mailers! Report Abuse

Reply:I'm on Classic Email..same problem. Somebody suggested that it was some kind of incompatibility


with Norton (Semantics) Internet Protection (Spam mail /Ad blocker) and that they turned Ad Blocker


off, but mine is built in with Rogers and I haven't been able to find out how to turn off parts of it Report Abuse

Reply:The suggested incompatibility is between Yahoo mail and Norton Internet Protection. Report Abuse

Reply:I use Classic Yahoo on both Mac and PC. On the PC the ad box is small and doesn't cover the messages. On the Mac it covers the check-boxes (Inbox) so I can't delete individual messages without opening them, and it makes emails unreadable. "Customer Care" is worthless. Report Abuse

Reply:I had the same problem since they upgraded yahoo. If when you hit reply, the message just gets bigger than look at the bottom of the page and their is a box that says to select message encoding. Once you select one, you can reply to messages. I still haven't been able to find a way to fix the compose message but it must also have something to do with the encoding.
Reply:Been that way for my and my wife's Yahoo mail account for a week now. All the rep on the Yahoo chat line will say they are aware of the problem and working to resolve it. I have about had it. After several years with Yahoo I'm about to jump to Gmail.
Reply:I have had similar problems for almost 2 weeks now. I can't compose new mail but I can reply from the "in" box.


It seems many others are having problems too and I keep hoping yahoo will fix it soon.
Reply:Seems like there's a few probs with Yahoo these days !





Don't know what to suggest, as mine always appears to work okay !
Reply:i guess u need to go back to classic or look fopr new to compose a new one.

This applies to almost all areas of mail (including signing in, composing, receiving, sending, attachments, photos etc.) and search problems, in standard and beta mail, for the last two weeks.


I found this in What's New In Mail:

This is a serious problem. You should write to Yahoo to lodge a complaint. Try changing LAN settings and see if this can solve the problem. Contact your service provider for help on changing LAN settings.

Reply:Sometimes the Compose page doesn't open fully or properly, usually when the internet is particularly busy. When this happens, press F5 to force the page to reload.

What does cc: on compose an email mean?

carbon copy. It means that the person who's address is in that space will also get a copy of the original e-mail.

What does cc: on compose an email mean?
cc: stands for carbon copy


bcc: stands for blind carbon copy
Reply:Stands for Carbon Copy. Sends a copy of the e-mail to the address(s) you put in. BCC does the same, but the person getting the e-mail doesn't know who else got it too.
Reply:Cutiewitabooty, I'm not sure if you got a real answer to your question, so here goes:





the cc: is for any additional people that you want to send your message to. The bcc: is the same thing, but it is hidden from all of your other senders.





Most mail programs require you to put a comma or semicolon in the to: field when sending to more than one person. The cc: makes that unneccessary.





I hope that helps.
Reply:cc means certified copy of your email to someone whose email address you want to hide....
Reply:carbon copy just means send the exact copy to some else
Reply:Carbon Copy...It shows the person you are sending the email to that you are also sending it to another person.





Bcc: is blind carbon copy, and it will not show the person you are mailing you are sending the email to another person.
Reply:'carbon copy'.





It means a copy is sent to them, but it is understood the email is not 'to' them. The wording comes from the days of typewriters, when a secretary might use a carbon sheet to make a duplicate of a letter.





There is also 'bcc' - blind carbon copy. This sends a carbon copy to someone, but no other recipients see that they got it. This is actually a good idea if you are sending out a mass email to people when you really shouldn' tbe sharing all their e-mail addresses.
Reply:carbon copy. You add this to inform the addresee that you sent it to someone else - usually their boss or another department.
Reply:Carbon copy.
Reply:carbon copy it means you send a copy of the same email to another person





bcc is a hidden copy...the main people in the "to" and the "cc" field wont know you sent it to the ones in "bcc"
Reply:It just means 'carbon copy.' If you want any other people to receive the mail just for information (they are not the main person you are sending it to) this is what you would use. If you do not want recipients to see each others' addresses, you use BCC (blind carbon copy).
Reply:CC - carbon copy





BCC - Blind Carbon Copy
Reply:It stands for "carbon copy" and is from the old days when letters were typed on the typewriter and you'd put a sheet of carbon paper behind your paper and get a copy that way. Everyone who gets the email will see who got the cc: If you want to send an email to someone and you don't want everyone to know, use "bcc," which means "blind carbon copy."
Reply:copy. It means that it is not addressed to that person, but the e-mail is for them to read to just to keep them in the loop.
Reply:im wondering the same thing
Reply:cc: was a cary over from the days of carbon paper. It meand carbon copy!!! With this feature you may send an e-mail, and have a copy sent to as may people as you like!!!





I hope this helps,

Reply:it's a hang over from old carbon paper. Carbon Copy, blind carbon copy.





It was used in letters to let people know who else received a copy (not the blind portion but the regular CC)
Reply:It's short for carbon copy, from the days when you actually had to use carbon paper to make a copy. It just means that you want to send a copy to someone other than the primary recipient. Bcc means blind carbon copy. This is a carbon copy where the recipient gets a copy but doesn't know it's a carbon copy.
Reply:Back in the old days, it meant Carbon Copy which meant another copy was being sent. In the email world, most will call it 'Courtesy Copy'... Sorta the same thing. Means that the letter is not TO them, but you'd like them to know about it.
Reply:Carbon Copy
Reply:It stands for " Carbon Copy". BCC stands for " Blind Carbon Copy" It allows you to send the same E-mail to multiple addresses. The BCC eliminates the addresses from being seen by everybody that you send the e-mail to in the e-mail header.

in writing letters (before the www) it meant that a carbon paper duplicated the message and that was sent to another person.





A cheap way to tell many the same thing - practiced for years before the 1980's by everybody that wrote.

What happened to the insert photo option when I compose an email? Do you only have photo albums now? Help!?

You use to be able to just click on your photo and it was added to the body of your email...now all I can find is photo albums. Photo albums is a great feature but when sending just a couple of pictures it was very nice being able to just add to the body of my email. Please help if this feature is still available...I can't find it. Thank You!

What happened to the insert photo option when I compose an email? Do you only have photo albums now? Help!?
Can I just let you know that I am experiencing exactly the same problem along with several of my friends and work colleagues. I have put this question three times to Yahoo but at present I have not received an answer. Hopefully, they will contact me soon. Like you, I can only find the Photo Albums. May I ask you though, if you have ever been able to use this feature as this is rather new to me and I have not attempted to use it before?


Why can't I compose and email or reply to an email from my yahoo account?

Since Thanksgiving 2005, I have been having a problem, although be it sporatically, when composing or replying to emails. Some days I can go in and compose and reply to emails and then other days I can't. The box that the message would normally appear in is gone. I can enter the people I would like to send the email to and even enter a subject but that's it. The "body" of the email cannot be entered. So, if I try to "get around the problem" by typing a short subject as the email and then try sending it, nothing happens. The email never gets sent.





Does anyone know why this happens? I haven't been able to send an email for days now, although, I can receive and read emails that are sent to me... ?????

Why can't I compose and email or reply to an email from my yahoo account?
聽聽聽This is a common problem and usually it's quite simple to fix with a combination of the following steps.


聽聽聽Clear your cache by deleting your cookies, temporary files and history. You can do this by clicking "Tools" then "Internet Options" then the "General" tab. The options will be visible at this point. After you've done this, close your browser completely, all windows. Then reopen it and try your mail again. If that didn't fix it, try the next step.


聽聽聽You need to change your preferences to plain text formatting instead of HTML. From a Yahoo! Mail page click the "Options" link at top right of the page, then click "General Preferences". Scroll down to the "Composing E-mails" category and select "Compose messages as plain text" then Save your changes. This will resolve the issue in most cases.


聽聽聽If the first step didn't work and you had to proceeed to the second one try switching back to HTML formatting once a week or so just to see if it'll work again for you
Reply:The problem is that the text box is for advanced "Colors %26amp; Graphics" rather than for "Plain Text," which may not display on all browsers. You can switch this by going to Options in the upper right corner and then to General Preferences. About mid-page will be the option to select your Composing Emails Mode, for which you can select Plain Text. Be sure to save your new settings.





However, if you're using the same computer and browser and this is only happening sporadically, you may want to just try clearing your browser's cache [1] or by either updating your browser or switching to a different browser. (If you're using Internet Explorer try Firefox [2] or vice versa.)

When i try to compose an email it wont let me write anything in the compose box? i can recieve but cant compo?

What email service are you using? That will help me trouble shoot.





Also, this may sound really stupid, but I fixed this on someone's computer once: make sure you aren't using white font. My client accidentally set their font to white, and thought their software was not working.





Tell me if it outlook, outlook express or whatever, then I can suggest some trouble shooting methods.


When I compose an Email message, how can I change the color of the print from black to any other color ?

above where you type your message,there is a toolbar click on the icon that has a t and an artists paint thing.

When I compose an Email message, how can I change the color of the print from black to any other color ?
One solution is to compose your message in Word, %26amp; then cut %26amp; paste the message into the body of the e-mail, or simply send it as an attachment. You didn't say what you use to compose your e-mails.





I use Microsoft Outlook 2000, %26amp; once I start to compose a message then I can select Fonts, %26amp; Font colours from the toolbar at the top.





Hope that helps.
Reply:You will see the letter 'A' usually with a small bar below it showing the color of the text. Click on this letter and a grid of color comes up for you to choose from and click the one you want. Black is default.

What does Cc stand for in Yahoo Mail when you are composing an email?

What does the Cc stand for? It's under the "To:" box where you enter the email address of the person you want to send your email to.

What does Cc stand for in Yahoo Mail when you are composing an email?
It means Carbon copy, meaning you can send a copy of yor email to the email address of the person you put on the Cc line.
Reply:Carbon Copy
Reply:Cc is a leftover from the time of typewriters, back then before xerox machines and the like to make copies you would put a carbon paper in between two pieces of paper and make a copy, so the cc stands for Carbon Copy and it was used to indicate to whom the copies were to be sent





cc Charles





so today we use cc instead of copy to
Reply:CC i sused to send a copy of the mail to anyone else.This will send the carbon copy of the mail to the address u mention in cc.The person recieving cc copy will able to see to whom the original copy has been sent.





There is another option od BCC.The person getting the mail through BCC will not be able to know to whom the original copy has been sent.Hence can say it BLIND CARBON COPY
Reply:Carbon copy. Mostly used when sending an e-mail to a number of people. Every one who receives the message will be able to see the e-mail addresses of everyone else.





Use BCC or blind carbon copy if you don't want to be handing out others e-mail addresses.
Reply:carbon copy
Reply:carbon copy
Reply:it stands for CARBON COPY... they are the other recipients of your email. TO field recipients may require them to respond on your message but the CC field recipients may not require to do that.
Reply:carbon copy. Back when typewriters were the only method of printing type secretarys used this if they were sending a letter to more than one person. At the bottom of the letter they would put


cc: John Doe (whoever)





They really had to use carbon paper (a black messy paper) put between two sheets of stationary to print a cc. Hence the name. Incidently, bcc stands for blind carbon copy meaning that the original email recipient will not see who else you send the message to if you put addressed in the bcc line.





Have a good day
Reply:CC is carbon copy, you are copying them on the email even though it's not directly for them





BCC is blind carbon copy, the other recipients CAN'T see who you copied on the email





The only problem with BCC is that some knucklehead might not notice and reply to all, when no one was supposed to know he/she was on the email.
Reply:the to is the person that you are writeing the e-mail to. the one that it was intended for.


the Cc or Carbon Copy is for someone ealse that you want the letter to go to. say you are sending some info about e-mail to one frend but another frend has asked to get the same info you could put that other frend in the cc blank.


the Bcc or blind carbon copy is their for you to send the e-mail to someone without the otheres receving the e-mail knowing that they got it.
Reply:It means "Carbon Copy".





back in the days of typewriters, that i how you made mulitple copies - paper, carbon, paper, carbon, paper, etc. You then had an original and multiple "carbon copies".
Reply:thanks for asking this cause i always wanted to know that and also thanks for the 2 points !! :)
Reply:It's just like the "To" I don't know what it means exactly, but it will get sent to anyone you put in there, too.
Reply:It is another person who will also receive a copy of the message separately.
Reply:Carbon Copy or Courtesy Copy





it's a feature to send other people copies of the mail.
Reply:CARBON COPY
Reply:carbon copy - old school term. If you cc your outgoing email a copy will be sent to you.
Reply:Copy to-if you want another person other than the person you are sending it to to read it also.
Reply:Carbon Copy from the old days when people used carbon paper to copy what they were writing onto another piece of paper.
Reply:Just to predict your next question.....the BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. As in the person you are sending it to can't see who else you are CC'ing.
Reply:Copies Concerning-----this is who you want a copy of the letter to go to in addition to the primary person you are sending the email to. Before computers CC was short for carbon copy. This meant that a carbon copy of the letter was going to the people listed after the CC.
Reply:CC stands for carbon copy...basically you can send a "carbon copy" or exact replica of your email to another person...when in house memos are sent within a company, they use CC so the person sending it knows where to send it and also the person reading it knows who else has received it...that way they don't have to send it again...hope this helps
Reply:It stands for Carbon Copy. Carbon copy is used to let someone else know about a message even though they are not the primary person the message was intended for.

Yahoo email redirects me to type in a box when I compose a message. How ? I can't get it to type.?

When the captcha appears, put your cursor on the address you are sending to and click. See if that works. Or just highlight the address. If not, you can use one of these links until Yahoo gets it fixed, they have been notified about this problem and said they are working on it. It's basic, no frills, but it works. http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or: http://uk.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or; http://de.m.yahoo.com/p/mail

I have started writing my mail in Word,then copy and paste into my e-mail. that way if it goes pear shaped at the captcha stage I can re paste it and not need to retype it. I believe that Yahoo are looking at the fault of the captcha not always posting.
