2. When you are ready to send the message, click .
   
3. If you have more than one ZixSignature, select the email address you want this message to send from using the Email Address drop down box.
4. Enter your Password.
5. Select the Send Certified check box if you want to receive an email message notifying you when the recipient opens the message for the first time.

Attaching Files to Messages

Adding Attachments to a Message

In ZixMail® for Outlook 2010, you attach files as usual. Files are compressed before they are encrypted and sent.

Requesting a Receipt

The Request a Receipt option sends you an email message indicating the date and time that each recipient receives or opens your sent message.

• Selecting this option on the Options > Message Encryption screen sends you a receipt for every ZixMail message and every recipient.
• Selecting this option on the Send ZixMail screen sends you a receipt for each recipient of that message only.

Note: If you select the Request a Read Receipt check box in Outlook, then send your message using the button, you will receive a ZixMail message containing your read receipt, instead of an Outlook read receipt message.
