The StarMessage screensaver allows you to send a message to a friend via email. When your friend receives it, he will see your message written in the stars. Both you and your friend need to have a working copy of the StarMessage screensaver. Although not necessary, it is recommended that your friend has a registered version to avoid any "please register" reminders.

To send a message via email, please go to:

-> Configuration screen of the starmessage screensaver
-> [May I have more options] button
-> [Messages] tab
Type your message and your bottom line and press the [Preview] button to see if your message is displayed as you wanted.
Then press the [Send] button.

This will open a new temporary folder and inside that folder you will see 2 files:
Receive Instructions.txt
NewMessage.StarMsg

1) The file named "Receive Instructions.txt" contains instructions for the user that will receive the email.
You must copy paste the text from this file inside the email that you are going to send to your friend.

2) The file named "NewMessage.StarMsg" contains the actual "star message" that you prepared.
You must attach this file to the email.

Now you can send the email you just created.

.............

When your friend receives this email he must:
1) install the StarMessage screensaver, if he does not already have it.
2) Open the attached "NewMessage.StarMsg" file and the import will be done automatically.
He will see your message written in the stars.

Very impressive, especially for romantic messages.

If you want, you can try to send this email to yourself first, to experience and understand better this procedure.

Another quick test you can do it to use ready star message that I prepared to demonstrate how the import is done.

You can download this file to see how it works.
Open this zip file and double click on the newmessage.starmsg file.

On the dialog that will popup, select the "open" option.
This will activate the StarMessage screensaver that will automatically import and display the message.

I am reminding you that you must have installed the StarMessage screensaver on your computer for that test to succeed.
