Hi, Debb,
I noticed that when I wrote the first time that I didn't tell you what was
the second way in which you can have jaws read with the say all command
along with line by line. Well, since you already have your replies include
the messages you reply to, the way to do that is very simple. You press
control + r and if you arrow down past the heading info, you will see that
you can use these command here quite effectively. When you try to exit, al
you will hear is if you are sure you want to delete or something like that.
Just press y and you are back in the inbox list view.
If you don't mind, I kind of thought of a few other keystrokes that you may
want to know about. To go to your address book you press control + shift +
B.
To reply: control + r.
\To reply to all: control + shift + R.
To compose new message: control + N.
To foward, (like to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) you press: control +f.
To select a: , (like to copy and paste into document) you press: control +
A.
To search for text you press: f3.
to check spelling you press: f7.
These next few keys are alternatively used for reading mesages, rather than
the usual way of reading, which is:
enter key to open message within the current folder like the inbox.
escape to exit or close,
and delete key in the list, to trash.
the other way to read messages is to press:
control + o to open message.
To read previous message: control plus < (less than).
to read next message: control + > (greater than).
To read next unread message you press: control + U.
To read next unread thread: control + shift + U.
To delete current message you press: control + letter D.
To bring up the outlook express folders (like inbox and draft box), you
press: control + Y.
If you have a slow computer under 166 mhz, this is a lot easier on your
system to use. At least that's what I have found. IN any case, it's more
eficient. I wish the best. for you and all. I will be going to school
tomorrow and I will not being paying much attention to the list. If any
major announcements are made or really interesting tips are given, please
mail them to me at:

If that account is dead because I only paid for another month of service,
write to me to at the Seton Hall campus at:

Adios,
Lohse,
Carlos
Ps: your welcome!
