This makes no sense. With the new jaws 1158 and ie9 installed I still have the problem with jaws automatically reading a wlm message. I am guessing that it is something in ie9. With the same configuration but with ie8 when I delete an opened message the next message is opened and automatically read. When I install ie9 this is no longer the case. The first message that I open is automatically read. When I delete it the next message is opened but not read. Using any key on the speech pad the message is then read in total. I am using win 7 home 32 bit. It does not change if I have message headers on or off.
