VO says blank because there is a blank space on the line where the graphic for unread message would be. This blank means that your message is not an unread message. If it was an unread message, the line would be read, beginning with the word unread.
I do not find this to be a problem, personally. To me it means that VO is reading out all of the information that is available to seeing users. /smile/ hth- Laurie On Feb 5, 2012, at 8:12 AM, Maria Chapman wrote: Hi. i am trying out the classic layout in mail. it seems pretty good except that vo says blank at the beginning of each message as i'm navigating the list. is there any way i can get vo to stop saying blank, and then from etc? Hope i'm making sense. i noticed in the classic layout view you can choose which headers to see. is there a way to do this in the other view? thanks again Maria Chapman bubbygirl1...@gmail.com <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
