<p>A voice mail system (60) includes a voicemail bookmarking procedure (86) that permits users to bookmark voicemail messages (72) during message playback (80). Upon receiving a bookmark request from a user, the procedure (86) generates a bookmark pointer defining a starting point for subsequent playback of the message. The bookmark pointer can be based, in part, on a timing offset value entered by the user while making the bookmark request. The timing offset value defines a user-selected playback starting point that occurs before the message time at which the bookmark request was made. The value of the timing offset can be user selected.</p> |
