The top pane of the Email window shows the message header. The bottom pane shows the message text of the currently highlighted message header. You may move the highlight bar up or down to read other messages. You may also press Enter to view the current message. If the message is from you then pressing Enter allows you to edit the message you previously sent.

Reply
Shortcut: Alt+R

The Reply button opens the message editing window with a new blank message. The message will be addressed to the sender of the highlighted message. You will also be asked if you want to quote the original message. If you answer yes then the text of the original message will be inserted in your new message. Quoting the original message is a good way to let the recipient know exactly what points of his message that you are replying to.
