The simplest way to write a message is to reply to an existing message that you’ve already received. That way, you can send the message back to the sender’s email address to provide a little context with your response without having to type it all over again. Another option is to forward a message. This lets you send a received message to someone else. If you have a wireless printer, you can also print a message so you have a copy you can review later.

(Optional) Type any additional text that you want to add to the message.
