Click on "Compose" in the Hotmail menu bars.
This will bring up a screen with the following on it:
To send an e-mail follow these steps:
In the line marked "To:" type in the person's
e-mail address that you want to send a message to. Be careful to spell
the address right and use the right lower and upper case letters. (A good way to practice is to send yourself a message: your-name@hotmail.com)
The line marked "Cc:" is used when you want to send
an exact copy of your message to other people. Simply enter the e-mail
addresses of the other people you want to send a copy of your message to in
this line.
In the "Subject:" line type something that
describes what your message is about. The subject will be shown in the
recipients inbox, making it easier for them to sort through their
e-mails.
This is the area where you type your message. There
is no limit to how much you can type in this space.
When you are done writing your message press the send
button and your message will instantly be delivered.
