Request Access to a shared folder. I'm confused.
In my Notification Area, I can see that someone has requested access to a particular shared folder.
After I have approved them by clicking on the blue APPROVE button (in the notifications tab), it then brings me to the actual folder that I am sharing.
I get a pop-up window with their address (pre-written) and I have an option to write them a message.
I'm confused because I thought I just APPROVED them with the BLUE BUTTON. Why would I need to this email ?
or is it just a confusing 'user-interface design' where the BLUE BUTTON is totally meaningless and does nothing ?
Please someone advice me.

Hi Walter, (thanks for responding).
Here are TWO screenshots:
The first one shows that 'Carol' requested access to my folder, so I CLICK the blue button to APPROVE her.
After clicking on the APPROVE BUTTON, I get a pop-up window where I can write a message to Carol. (*see below)
So, (my question), Pressing the first APPROVE button has already approved Carol, so why would I keep getting a pop-up to write to her.
it makes me feel as if the Blue Approve Button didnt work. or is Approving someone a two-step process? Why is it almost forcing me to write a message to her. I dont want to write a message to Carol.
There is no mention what this pop-up window is actually for and whether its important or not.
