As a minimum, you need to type the sender’s email address (usually either your address or the address of the mailing list/autoresponder) in the “From” text box, and the message subject in the text box labeled “Subject”.
Hint: You may be wondering how to include the name of the sender in the “From” text box. You can do it by surrounding the name with quotation marks.
For example:
“Your Name” <youraddress@yourdomain.com>
To use a data field in the message subject, use $(...) syntax, e.g. $(Email). Available fields are listed under "Insert field" located to the right of the text editor.
If you are sending a message to your subscribers, you also need to click the “To” button, and select one or more target mailing lists. Read this to learn more: Tutorial: Sending Message to Subscribers.
If you want replies to this message to go to a certain address, type it in the “Reply-To” text box. If this box is empty, all replies go to the email address in the “From” text box (except for certain, usually delivery-status-related, messages that go to the “Return-Path” email address if it is defined).
You can use the “CC” text box to send copies to an email address. A copy is sent for every recipient the message is sent to. For instance, if you are sending a message to 1000 recipients with your email address in the “CC” text box, you are going to receive 1000 copies. The same applies to replies, automatic follow-ups etc. This text box is useful for testing purposes though.
