Click here
Click on Settings

3. Check html editor and non-frame settings!

Check the boxes
Make sure you select the html editor and version without frames and Javascript. Getting an email when you are online is up to you: if you check frequently, then you may not miss important news, otherwise better select this, too.

Part 2: Recording a message

2. Paste caption

paste into caption
Right-mouse click in caption field to paste caption text.

3. Record, check recording and send.

Record (see volume meter = green bars), then stop, play back to check before clicking the OK button below to insert the sound clip into the message.

Enjoy!
