Composing a message

To compose a message, you first address it, then record your message, then send it. You
can address a message to one or more people or distribution lists. Before you send a
message you can edit it and add message options.

You address a message to one or more recipients before you start recording. An address
is typically a mailbox number or a distribution list number. You may also be able to
address messages to other numbers. See Addressing a message, page 13. You can also
address a message by spelling a person’s name. See Addressing by name, page 14.
