You can differentiate this new typed
message from the previously sent

the subject lines (“take a look at
this” for the scribbled message and
“read this” for the typed message).
Tap “new.” You will be returned to
the “new messages” view.

Note:
Make sure that Audrey is
connected to the Internet before
attempting any of the tutorials
for this section.
The default subject line is always
“take a look at this” for scribbled
messages, “read this” for typed
messages, and “listen to this” for
recorded messages.
Audrey’s Mail application allows you to send and receive e-mail.
Although it has many of the features of traditional e-mail software
applications, it excels in sending very quick and informal messages.
It supports the POP3 and SMTP e-mail protocols.

Compose messages in three differ-
ent modes:
•
Typed messages
Enter text with the keyboard.
•
Scribbled messages
Write on the screen with the sty-
lus. The drawing is captured
as a .GIF file and the resulting
e-mail is sent out with no text in
its body and the .GIF file attached.
•
Audio messages
Record your voice through
Audrey’s built-in microphone
(located next to the Channel
selector knob). The sound is con-
verted to a .WAV file (16-bit,
8MHz, mono) and the resulting
e-mail is sent out with no text in
its body and the .WAV attached.

Note:
PC users who receive
scribbled and/or audio messages
from Audrey will be able to view
them using their mail program’s
standard method of playing or view-
ing such files.
Audrey users who receive scribbled
and/or audio messages from an
other Audrey user will see the .GIF
file displayed directly in the body of
the received e-mail or a .WAV player
console allowing controlled playback
of the recording.
