Again, I'm not sure these issues are issues which are the fault of thunderbird itself, for example if I use Thunderbird with NVDA or System Access To Go it works flawlessly, can't speak for System Access To Go but I do know that NVDA taps into Thunderbird's accessibility features so I'm wondering if Window-Eyes does do or could do the same?
