# Quick IM Notecards

A lot of SL residents send notecards when message delivery is important or the message is quite long. It is kind of SL e-mail. SpeedLight makes managing such notecards easier. 

### Sending Quick IM Notecard

The notecard can be composed and sent directly from an IM dialog with a specific person:

The copy of the sent notecard stays in your inventory.

You can accept the notecard and view it, or discard (but notecard is still available in inventory).

### Quick-reply

You can also quickly reply to notecard with another notecard!
