You can stop interacting with the messages table and use the up and down arrows to move between messages, hearing all the information for each message as you move to it. Interacting offers some powerful features, but by it's nature doesn't offer a very good overview. So, simply stop interacting and you should get the behavior you are looking for. "3. DOes there exist a way to quickly check status items such as the date/time without first pressing ctrl+F8 and arrowing around the "extras"? This isn't really a huge deal, I'm just wondering." There is, but it requires a little bit of overhead on your part. You need to set up the keyboard commander and turn apple script on in voiceover. Then you can assign keys to check things such as the time and date. There's a complete step-by- step somewhere in the archives.
