Not at all, Mike. Your instructions were clear and concise. Thanks very much.

If there is a particular thread that interests you, you would press the right arrow key to expand the message group and expanding will show all the messages in this particular thread. To change this setting follow the steps below. 1. Press Alt + V for the view menu, but not in an an open message. 2. Press enter on current view or press the letter V. 3. Arrow up to " group messages by conversation " and if this box is checked press enter to uncheck this box and take you out of the menues. I hope I haven't confuse the hell out of you! LOL Take care.

I need help with Outlook Express. I'm using Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer Version 8. I'm running an HP 550 notebook with Jaws 10 at the latest update. This thing is driving me crazy so I'll bet I'm missing something simple and stupid. That's usually the way. I am getting this very annoying message when I access e-mail. Outlook Express keeps saying "EXPANDED" every time I hit some, but not all , new messages. Is there a way to turn that thing off? Personally, I don't care whether the messages are or are not expanded as long as I can read them. Reading messages doesn't seem to be a problem.

Re: [Blind-Computing] OUTLOOK EXPRESS, EXPANDED MESSAGE ANNOUNCEMENT
For starters, "expanded" means that all messages of a given thread (your original e-mail and my and all subsequent replies for example) are listed individually in the review screen for the particular folder. On the other hand, "collapsed" means that there's only one message listed per thread so if this thread were "collapsed" arrowing up and down the folder screen would reveal only the top-most message (your original inquiry). It seems to me that the later versions of JAWS (8 and beyond) were terrible at keeping this information straight on older versions of the OS. Now that I'm on Vista this annoyance h as disappeared -- hardly the solution one wants to have to facilitate.
