How to Create a Response

You can create Responses without any additional work! When composing a message, simply select the text you would like to reuse as a Response, then right-click and select Create Response from the pop-up menu.

Alternatively, you can create and manage Responses by navigating to Preferences or Options > Composition > Responses.

How to Insert a Response

The fastest way to insert a response is by using the Quick Bar. Place the cursor at the insertion point, type command-L or control-L, type the name of the Response you would like to use, then hit the enter key to auto-complete against your selection.
