Adding Message Options - Nortel Meridian Mail User Manual

Adding message options

When you create a message you can indicate that you want it handled in a special way.
The message options are Standard, Urgent, Economy, Private, Acknowledgment, and
Timed Delivery. Messages are sent Standard unless you choose another option. A
message cannot be tagged both Urgent and Economy. Before sending the message, you
can check the options by pressing 72 to play the message envelope.
To add an Urgent option
When you send a message marked Urgent, the recipient is notified in the mailbox
summary and the message header that the message is urgent.
Before or after recording a message, press 70 then 1 to add the Urgent option.
4 To cancel an Urgent option for a message, press 70 then 2 for Standard.
To add an Economy option
The Economy option can be used for messages sent to other networks. Your organization
sends Economy messages at a lower overnight rate.
Before or after recording a message, press 70 then 3 to add the Economy option.
4 To cancel an Economy option for a message, press 70 then 2 for Standard.
To add a Private option
When you send a message marked Private, recipients in your organization cannot forward
it or attach it to another message. Be aware that recipients in other organizations may not
be told your message is Private, and they may be able to forward it.
Before or after recording a message, press 70 then 4 to add the Private option.
4 To cancel a Private option for a message, press 70 then 4 again.
To request an acknowledgment to your message
When you send a message marked Acknowledgment, Meridian Mail Voice Messaging
automatically deposits a separate acknowledgment message in your mailbox after each
recipient has read your message. Some other networks may only acknowledge that your
message has been received by the system, not read by the recipients.
Before or after recording a message, press 70 then 5 for Acknowledgment.
4 To cancel an Acknowledgment request for a message, press 70 then 5 again.
