Writing Emails in Let.ter

---

Let.ter’s designed just to make writing emails as quick and pleasant an experience as possible. It’s far more like a simple writing app — say, iA Writer, Byword, or WriteRoom — than the typical email app. There’s no inbox, no notifications, just you and the words you want to send.

The title on the top of your new email is the same as a Subject in a typical email app. The typical To: bar to include email recipients is on the bottom of the window, where you can type in email addresses directly or search through your Contacts by name or email address just by typing. And, once you’ve added your email recipients, you’ll see their names on the bottom as a signature instead of the typical list of email addresses — one more way Let.ter makes sending emails more like, well, sending a letter.

Speaking of your message, Let.ter’s designed to let you focus on what you’re writing — so really, you can forget about the subject and email addresses, and just start writing. There’s normal keyboard shortcuts for bold and italics text, or you can add your own Markdown formatting to make your email look like you want. Or just write in plain text. Either way, Let.ter will turn your words into a beautiful email message.

You can include any standard Markdown formatting, including asterisks for bold and italics, caret for a quote, or a 4-space indention for a code block. You can include links and embed images. Check our Keyboard Shortcuts page for more info on how to quickly format your message if you’re not familiar with Markdown.

Then, you’ve got the normal OS X spell check, dictionary, dictation, and text editing keyboard shortcuts you’d expect to make writing emails simple. You can focus on your words — Let.ter will take care of the rest.

And now, you're almost ready to send your email.
