1. Each of your wiki pages contains an email address at the bottom of the page so you can send email to every page.

The email address of each page follows the same format: Title of the Page You Want to Send Email + an anti-spam code @ the webspace name. 

2. You can write an email to send to an existing wiki page by including the page title plus the special code in the To: field of an email message.

If you are using a desktop email application (for instance, Microsoft Outlook), you may click on the email link at the bottom of your wiki page. This will open your email program automatically and place the email code into the To: field of a new message.

Because JotSpot cannot detect online email programs like Google Mail or HotMail, you will need to copy-paste email codes from your wiki pages when using web based email applications.

Note:We recommend that you include text for the Subject of the email (as you would for any email) but you can send an email to the wiki without it.

It is possible to include attachments when sending email to wiki pages.  Like your email client, email attachments are included inline with the email and they are not stripped and attached to the wiki page. 

3. When your wiki receives the email, it is attached as a Messages category at the bottom of the wiki page.

Your page will usually be available in the wiki within a minute or two. However, this depends entirely on the behavior of your email program, the speed of your connection and the routing policy of your Internet Service Provider.

4. Address problems.  If you accidentally mis-spelled the page name in the To: field of your email, you will not find the email on the desired page. JotSpot has no way to match it to that page. Instead, it creates the email as a new wiki page. You can find that email by checking the InBox of your wiki. Most likely, it will be easiest to send the email again, using the correct page title and delete the incorrect page from the InBox.

5. Reading and editing emails in your JotSpot wiki. 

Clicking the expand all + link (see screen shot just above) displays all attached email messages together with the original text of the page. You can conveniently review the main text of the wiki page with its emails. (The original text of the page is not shown below but would appear just above the list of Messages.

You may click the collapse all - link to close the display of attached email messages.

Clicking the subject title of the attached email ("Attaching Additional Content" above) opens a page for that email:

This page can be edited (including addition of any WYSIWYG styling desired), include new attachments, be linked to other pages, etc. Indeed, you can create additional content for it, as can others who are given permission to write to this wiki page. In other words, it behaves in every respect 'just like' any other wiki page ... because it is.
