Messages from the administrator are displayed in a message dialog box. Up to 10 message dialog boxes can be simultaneously displayed according to the order in which the client receives the messages.

The administrator can send messages in either text format or HTML format. Figure 2-61 shows how a text message is displayed, and Figure 2-62 shows how an HTML message is displayed.

The title bar of the message dialog box displays an icon and a message title. The meaning of each icon is explained as follows.

If a URL is provided inside the message text, clicking the linked area starts the default browser, enabling you to browse the linked Web page. If an email address is provided, clicking it starts the default email program, enabling you to create email addressed to that address.

From the menu displayed by right-clicking the message text display area, you can copy a selected character string or select all character strings in the message text.

After you have checked the message, choose OK to close the message dialog box.
