If you need that, I can send yo the zip file off-list, or maybe I could send it to Dave or Richard Q if it isn't up on the Jaws-users website. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2014 4:19 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] a program called OE classic > Hi Steve, > > Would you please give steps on how & where to find & do the following: > > When you open it, Jaws will think you are using Windows Mail, so you have > to > comment out the line in the Autostart that checks to see if you are > running > Vista.
