  <title>Chat Preferences</title>
  <p>
    The following options allow you to customize how <app>Orca</app>
    behaves when providing access to instant messaging and internet
    relay chat clients.
  </p>
  <section id="speak_name">
    <title>Speak Chat Room name</title>
    <p>
      If this checkbox is checked, <app>Orca</app> will prefix incoming messages
      with the name of the room or buddy they came from, unless they came from
      the currently-focused conversation.
    </p>
    <p>
       Default value: not checked
    </p>
  </section>
  <section id="announce_typing">
    <title>Announce when your buddies are typing</title>
    <p>
      If this checkbox is checked, and if <app>Orca</app> has sufficient
      information identifying that your buddy is typing, <app>Orca</app> will
     announce changes in typing status.
    </p>
    <p>
       Default value: not checked
    </p>
  </section>
  <section id="message_histories">
    <title>Provide chat room specific message histories</title>
    <p>
      If this checkbox is checked, <app>Orca</app>'s commands for reviewing
      recent messages will only apply to the currently-focused conversation.
      Otherwise, the history will contain the most recent messages regardless
      of which conversation they came from.
    </p>
    <p>
       Default value: not checked
    </p>
  </section>
  <section id="speak_messages_from">
    <title>Speak messages from</title>
    <p>
