Receive an e-mail message notifying you when a LON-CAPA message is sent to you

  4. Type a notification address into the text field labeled Notification address. This should be an Internet email address like "user@example.com".

  5. Use the radio buttons to select which types of LON-CAPA message should cause a notification email to be sent to the specified address.

  6. Choose whether you want any HTML tags contained in the original message body to be preserved in the excerpt included in the notification email.

  7. Click the
    Change
