Edit your emails
You can use the built-in editing options to make your text bold, italicized, or underlined. Create a bulleted list, add a hyperlink, insert an image, or add an attachment using the buttons along the bottom.

Click on an email address in Nutshell
You can configure Nutshell so that any time you click an email address, it will use Nutshell's mail view to compose the message. Open up your email settings tab, and click the option Use Nutshell to send emails when clicking an address.
When this option is off, clicking an email address will open up an email composer window from your browser's default email client, such as Gmail or Outlook. Bcc@nutshell.com will automatically be included in the BCC field of your email. This is a great option if you want to copy emails into Nutshell without configuring your SMTP settings or email sync.
