Avoid confusion...,        

Be certain your Reply To Address is correct...,  Send E-Mail to yourself..., then Reply To the Message. (Check for accuracy).  If your Reply To is incorrect, people that get your e-mail messages will not be able to respond.  (and it "looks" very unprofessional!)        

Reference: Identity (page: 329) of the required textbook for more details.        

If you need help at OU..., try the help desk You may obtain technical support by telephone at (405) 325-4636 (325-INFO); and by e-mail to info@ou.edu.    

These folks will help you get "whatever you need." (be polite)

All WebStudy students..., (as you are able), add your name to the list-server.       

As you can see in the instructions, your e-mail message will be sent to every class member simultaneously.  This powerful tool will allow you to address (speak to) the entire class.  Read the instructions carefully.  You use one address to put your name on the list, and another e-mail address to actually send messsages to the list members.
