Message Dialog

The Message dialog is used to view, edit, send or receive messages.

Some options in this dialog may be disabled depending on the context in which this dialog appears.

Message

To / From

Name lets you specify the name of the contact. While typing a name the application tries to recognize the contact from Address Book whose name begins with entered text.
Phone lets you specify the phone number of the contact. Use selection button ( ... ) to select contacts from the Address Book. You can also specify a group name, enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ), to include the group of contacts.

When multiple entries are allowed, use semicolon ( ; ) or comma ( , ) to separate entries.

Text

Text allows you to enter the text of the message.

In the Send Message dialog you may use text parameters to compose the message text. The Send Message dialog supports Address Book Text Parameters and Global Text Parameters.

For example: Dear %Name%, we would like to inform you...
Type specifies the type of the contents of the message:
Text - Message contains text.
Flash Text - Message contains text, but will be sent as a flash message. Flash messages are displayed directly on the receiver's phone screen, rather than stored in the phone inbox.
Binary - Message contains binary data (ring tones, logos, WAP Push links, etc.). The Text field should contain at most 140 hexadecimal values without spaces and separators.

For example, the following binary text can be entered to send a Nokia ring tone:
06050415810000024A3A5585E195B198040042D9049741A69761781B6176156174288B525D85E0A26C24C49A617628930BB125E055856049865885D200

The following binary text will send a WAP Push link:
0605040B8423F0250601AE02056A0045C60C037761702E636F64657365676D656E742E636F6D00070103436F64655365676D656E74000101
WAP Push - Message contains a WAP Push link. The first line of the Text field should contain a link to the WAP page. Also, you can specify the title of the link in the additional lines of text.

For example, you can enter the following text to send a WAP Push link:
http://wap.codesegment.com
CodeSegment
Priority specifies the sending priority of the message. Messages in the Outbox with higher priorities will be sent before messages with lower priorities.

From / To

Account specifies the account used to send or receive the message. Use selection button to select or clear the account field.
Address specifies the address of the sender or the recipient of the message. If not specified the default account address will be used.

Use Send button in the Send Message dialog to place the message in the Outbox and close the dialog. Use Send + button if you do not wish to close the dialog after placing the message in the Outbox.

Use Receive button in the Receive Message dialog to manually create the incoming message. The message will be placed in the Inbox and treated the same way as all the other messages received by the specified account. Use Receive + button if you do not wish to close the dialog after placing the message in the Inbox.
