Changes to IM
Starting an IM
You can start an IM in most of the old ways: by clicking or double-clicking a contact, by choosing Send
Instant Message from a phone call in progress, and so on.
The Messages window immediately opens. The new session is highlighted in gold.
Bria 3.5 Bria 4.0
You cannot drag and drop a contact to start an IM.
Receiving an IM
Bria notifies you of an incoming IM by either displaying an alert (if you have set up that preference) or by
opening the Messages window. The new session is highlighted in gold.
The Message Window
The Message window shows active and inactive sessions, so it replaces the Message Archive from
Bria 3.5.
 The session highlighted in gold is the “current” session: its contents are displayed on the right.
 All the active sessions are listed in black letters on the left. You can move from one session to another
by clicking in that left panel. You can type in the Compose Message field to send a message to the
other person.
 Old, inactive sessions are shown with grey lettering. You can read the content of these sessions, but
you cannot type in the Compose Message field.
Formatting
Emoticons and formatting are still supported. You can set the font and font size for your display by
clicking Softphone > Application. You can set text you are typing to bold, italics and underline using the
Control key, for example, Ctrl-B for bold.
