Tips & Warnings
  • If you're sending to another WebTV address, you only need to type the person's user name, not the @webtv.net part.
  • You can send to more than one person at a time. Follow the first recipient's address with a comma, then type the next address.
  • Add addresses you use often to your address book so you don't have to type them.
  • Make sure your Subject lines are clear and concise so your recipients have a good idea of what the message is about. People who get a lot of e-mail appreciate messages titled "Dinner Party Sunday the 13th" as opposed to "Lobster."
