Alfiemama: I've sorted out the routine for using Jarte's 'hot connect' with my email, but it doesn't want to play nicely with the circle yet. I've done it in the past though. So something is just slightly adrift. It was before I temporarily lost my novel, so probably just a setting somewhere got changed when that glitch happened.
Anyway, here as a straight cut and paste are the instructions for using it with email. If you try these to post on the circle and it works for you then it will confirm my opinion that I've just misplaced a setting.

The best way to test this utility is to send a message or two to yourself first. That way there's no embarrassment or nuisance to others if you cock it up.
Please note the message you type in Jarte will be plain text and look very basic. When it transfers to the mail programme or wherever it will follow the rules you have set for mail font and size.
Here we go.
This is a test of hot connect to Outlook Express.
First, open the programme to which you wish to 'Hot Connect. For this example, we will be sending an email from Outlook Express.
Set up the recipient's e-dress and subject line, just as if you were sending an ordinary email. Then move the cursor to the body of the email, just as if you were about to start typing in the box. (Unless you really want to fill the subject line with the body text, which does seem rather unlikely.
Now press [Alt f7] to trigger Hot Connect. A blank document will open in Jarte, with 'Hot Connect' written in the tab at the top.
Type your message. If you want you can paste in all sorts of text from elsewhere at this point. (I've not tried adding pictures yet.) Do any spellchecking etc until you are happy with your message.
Now press [CTRL S] This will 'save' the hot connect message to Outlook (or whatever you are using).
Outlook will reopen with the message installed, and all you need to do is [send] it.
Once the message has gone [CTRL S] reverts to being an ordinary save command, so you can save the message if you wish by giving it a name just like any other piece of work. After this you can click the 'x' on the 'Hot Connect' tab to get rid of the temporary message.
