Choose one of the following:
- Approve;Reject

Use when you need either a yes or a no. This is a good way to take a quick poll. - Yes;No;Maybe

2. If you selected a custom voting button, please follow these steps：
- In the Properties dialog box, under Voting and Tracking options, select the Use voting buttons check box.
- Delete the default options and then type the text that you want, and use semicolons to separate the button names.
- Click Close.
3. After the addition is successful,【 You added a voting button to this email】will be displayed on the top of the email, add recipients, enter the subject and content, and click Send.
4. After that, you just need to wait for the recipient to reply to the email.
The sender can see all responses in a table. On one of the response messages, click The sender responded line in the message header, then click View voting responses.
The responder is on the left, the result and time of the response are on the right, and there are statistics on the top.
