    1) If are you in Faculty Services, use Faculty Services email service instead of your browser's email program
    Instead of clicking on a highlighted email address to send email, click on the checkbox next to the student's name and click on the "Email Selected Students" button. This will allow you to send an email to the student using the Faculty Services program, instead of using your browser's email program.

    2) Configure your browser to send email
