don't use the sidebar. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Lawlor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:06 PM Subject: Re: atatching files to emails and using spell check
Hi. I tried the below steps for attaching a file to an email and here's what happened. I interacted with the sidebar and went to the network location or at least the root drive of where the file was. Pressing vo\ didn't expand the location and when I pressed command o to open the location so I could file the file I wanted to attach, mail was busy for a very long time. after a while, i force quit the application and there came up a dialog about report this problem or ignore. I pressed ignore and tried several more times but I just can't seem to get this process to work. Honestly, I'm feeling that most stuff I try on this thing isn't working right and I wonder why did I leave windows? Thanks for any help wit this inquiry.
