Hi Carolyn. Thanks so much. I'm just not sure why some of this stuff isn't working, but I am sure it's me not my Air, smile!

So, if you scroll down, I'll do my best to address what I can.

How do I do that > using vo? Apple mail has something called "data detector," which gives you the option to interact with such info. If you arrow over to the address you want tot add, then press vo-shift-m, you should bring up a contextual menu to do that. Also you can try cmd-shift-y. > > 3.

If you are using enter to gt into the message, and press cmd shift w, you should automatically be winding up in the Inbox on your closed message, unless you're hiding your preview pane. I always use cmd w and don't have to do anything else. > > 4.

The attachment appears as "slide show." If you click or do vo-space on that, you can find your attachments. > > 6. I know what the attachment is and decide to save it.
