Here is where you may add personality to your message like for example for this message I'm using a Thumbs up, as as you may see beside the topic on the left you actually see a thumbs up. There are others which you are all free to use such as a question sign if you're seeking help, exclamation sign for something important and so on.

Once you've done that you click on the tab you wish to use, then you click on a blank space in the message to remove highlight from the selected text and move on. Below is an explanation of what the button does and a preview of them.
