4.2 Sending a Broadcast IM
You can send an IM to several people at one time. A broadcast IM is not a conference IM.
• With a broadcast IM, each recipient can reply to the IM, but only you will see these replies; the other
recipients will not see these replies.
• With a conference IM, all parties see everyone’s messages and the messages each party sends are seen by
everyone. See “Group Chat (Conference IM)” on page 27.
