Minute 4
Herb to the unit can preview before they send if they want to modify place to reset all the steps which are getting who would like to send it to record your own screen election display the list of potential output e mail to who was a badge of his or contact list will do instead in praise of the glitches contact dialog that displays a form it s identical to the contact selection screen is mobile as you started at them as they choose contact dialog and call the staccato dialogue was renewed since of its isn t as nice using diverse and what do is let to the user has wrapped a result practical dialogue result and that equals are contact dialog showed I ll get that there is so exactly pick something the dogs will be okay

Minute 5
Council helped me did indicate things we have no work to do so it is checkered out results and vehicles result okay that is a back to select itself so we are to worked number that will want to do was create e mail rents a way we do that is with the e mail message class is for the enormous class and so now with the message to create a new instance of its things we have the message created now was first is what it was that we know who the mail is going to read we know from the contact Oliver to conduct our log with icons of the selected contact raid on a contact not as an e mail address race for actual use and Sosa started to the first order do is create with call recipient in its written messengers of the

Minute 6
And that s the message recipient and creamy recipient has trouble once here we can do justice to the Addison straightaway right is willing here the lesbians who put the name next will be a friendly display name as well as the e mail address this would be a raise the contact I want to do that is just that they took the user chose something in his shoes got a dialogue in the ballot is telling us what they chose and we couldn t get the selected contact and then select the name but notice that the concept of how it actually makes a selected name directly available to really grab and name their it wouldn t or the e mail address in a dialogue to get the selected contact and my shoes are you notice is usually the e mail address for the person that they chose is that creates the recipient of the entity is that not to create the recipient and of course have to put anonymous

Minute 7
Should i wasn t it to someone in this glee to the two part because is and in the course and an e mail seats Gilchrist is his car and and dressers and of course I worship you want to also see steep in ACC listen to expect rhetoric and dress is now they re sent out about it or e mail is now a dressed straight and now we be little things I decided to buy to ask my world to the sorted first finances subject here was the Iraqi central picture rights would say picture you request and death at their figure messaging and go door body text
