+  <title>Set a custom message</title>
+
+  <p>
+    Sometimes you may want to set a custom message for your status, for example to let
+     people know that you will be unavailable for a certain period of time.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    It is possible to set a custom message based on the different statuses available.
+  </p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item>
+      <p>
+        From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, click on the drop-down list at
+         the top.
+      </p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>
+        Select the status you want to add a custom message to. You have to select the one
+         identified with the label <gui>Custom Message</gui>.
+      </p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>
+        Enter your custom message in the text box at the top of the window, and
+         press <key>Enter</key> to set the message.
+      </p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>
+        If you want to set the custom message as a favorite, saving it in order to use it
+         again, click on the little star on the right of the text box where you wrote your
+         custom message.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        If you do not do it, the custom message will not be available the next time you
+         use <app>Empathy</app>. It will be saved only for the current session.
+      </p>
