This is a message from awhile ago, and I'm trying to work it out, but somehow I can't seem to get passed putting the name of the message rule. It also doesn't give me the option for new as stated in your message. Thanks your help would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 9:12 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MESSAGE RULES > Hi Josh & Wayne; > > These are for Outlook Express and I don't know if they work for Window's > Mail.
