Replies to the e-mail will be sent to your primary e-mail address (as designated in Flexmls Web).

If you selected one of your Flexmls Contacts in the\u00a0<b>To\u00a0<\/b>selection bar, the recipient will be pre-populated when your e-mail program opens. This will also allow you to see which contact received the link (and when it was opened) when viewing\u00a0<i>My Sent E-Mails<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Just give me the link\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 After selecting this option and clicking\u00a0<b>Get Link<\/b>\u00a0at the bottom of the screen, you will be able to copy a link to the listings. You can paste the link into a web-based e-mail application such as Gmail. If you selected one of your Flexmls Contacts in the\u00a0<b>To\u00a0<\/b>selection bar, the recipient (and when the link was opened) will be noted when viewing\u00a0<i>My Sent E-Mails<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b>\u00a0Whenever you change the\u00a0<i>How would you like to send this e-mail<\/i>\u00a0setting, the selection automatically saves, so the next time you send an e-mail, it will default to using the same option until you select a different option.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tracking Manually E-Mailed Listings<\/b><br \/>\nAs before, you can see e-mails you\u2019ve sent by using the Menu to find and select\u00a0<b>My Sent E-Mails<\/b>.
