How to Send an Instant Message on a Windows Client
An Instant Message (IM) sends the content of your clipboard to the selected peer, similarly to the Paste and send option in the Chat window.
Before you begin:
Ensure that your clipboard contains text that you want to send to another peer.
This procedure must be executed on the client.
- On the client, right-click on the network member that you want to send an IM.
- Click Send Quick IM.
Results: Sending an IM does not open the chat window, it only sends a notification to the peer.
