And for a third way, I've done a comparison between reply-to, and new: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. find email from list |
| 21 |
2. click reply button |
| 22 |
3. delete text |
| 23 |
4. change subject |
| 24 |
5. write email |
| 25 |
6. send |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
or |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
1. find email from list |
| 30 |
2. click email address in "to" field (new email to that recipient is |
| 31 |
created) |
| 32 |
3. write subject |
| 33 |
4. write email |
| 34 |
5. send |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |

| 37 |
|
| 38 |
6. ??? |
| 39 |
7. Profit! |
