Hi Karen,
Oh, I thought Neville was talking about focusing the BCC field so that he could
write into it, while you're referring to reading the contents of that field in
a received message.
I think we both have it. (smile)

Hi,
One problem with speech pausing is the actual synthesizer you use. For
example, in the program Balabolka, I can get great response using Xyro
Pro from Microsoft, but get no pause at all with the NeoSpeech Paul and
Kate voices. Try a different voice and see if that is the problem.

My guess is that things just come down to normal supply and demand. The
customer demand has always been for JAWS. If there is no demand for a product,
