Hi All,
Computer literate sighted assistance hasn't been available and the
thing about JAWS 7.1 correctly reporting the number of unread
messages, but not saying in the resulting message list view after
doing an Advanced Find (Control-shift-F was bugging me. My tech's
office has a remote way of looking at my computer and I gave them a
call. They said sighted people see unread messages as bolded in both
the regular message list view and with the one after doing advanced
find. They saw the unread ones as unread and I checked and JAWS says
they are bolded.
If anyone still has XP Home with SP2,IE 6 and is running JFW 7.1
and Outlook Express 6, could you do a Control-Shift-F from the message
list view and see if JAWS says unread for the messages that are
unread. The count of unread messages is correct and Control-U lands
on an unread message correctly. The regular message list view says
unread.
I suppose it's a minor thing to be bugged about, but I use
Advanced Find a lot every day and it worked properly in previous
versions of JAWS.
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi all,,
In addition to not saying "Unread," JAWS 7.1 was also not saying
"Attachment" in the resulting message list view after doing an
Advanced Find
(Control-Shift-F) in OE 6 so I decided to try to manually label
graphics to see if it solved the problem.
I got JFW to say checked and unchecked after Advanced Find which
it wasn't doing and the state of the items is correct. I got it to
speak "Attachment" when there was one after doing a Control-Shift-F.
However, I pressed my luck and thought I had figured out that graphic
22 was supposed to be Unread and labeled it"Unread." A test
determined that I blew that one and it did not make JAWS say "Unread"
in the resulting message list view. JAWS was saying "Unread" when I
routed JAWS to PC in the resulting message list view and I tried
getting it to say "graphic 22" again and I was successful. I haven't
been able to figure out what graphic 22 is and sighted assistance is
not available.
JAWS is correctly speaking the number of unread items when I do an
Insert-pg down after Control-shift-F, gut it worked properly in JFW 7
and previous versions of JAWS as did the speaking of "Attachment."
I remember that, for some reason, Advanced Find is somehow considered
to be part of XP Home and is not really part of OE or at least that
was the way it was with Win 98. At any rate I seem to be having to
configure things like muting the escape key again after hitting
Control-Shift-F after I've already done them in OE.
I did back up the more than one thousand files in shared files and
was thinking that I could replace whatever file has the labeled
graphics in Advanced Find with the original, but I don't know if which
one it is or if it would even work.
I'm running XP Home and IE 6.
Any help in not having to uninstall and re-install 7.1 would be
appreciated. I've lost count of the number of times I've already done
it.
Thank you,
Margaret

Hi All,
I'm trying to get JAWS 7.1 to my liking and have run into some of
the same problems I had with Advanced Find in Outlook Express 6
(Control-Shift-F) as I had when I originally installed it.
One is that the number of unread messages resulting from the
search is
correctly announced with Insert-pg down, but JAWS does not announce
"Unread" in the message list view. This worked properly in 7.0 here.

The OS is XP Home with SP 2.
Any help in getting "Unread" in the message list view after doing
the Advanced Find command would be appreciated.
