I am using Becky! at this moment and I am committed to it. It is simple software with a potentially complex approach which you can either use or ignore. Two views are useable with speech, either the html view from the IE component built into windows, or convert to text which is the easiest. Press downarrow and tab to read the subject and / or sender of the message, and window-eyes by default will read the first 24 lines of the message. "read-to-end" however is broken in the latest window-eyes, and no one seems to know why, but it is easily overcome with the space bar which displays the next screen of the message and hitting "control-shift-d" which reads the field data which I have set up. I completely recommend Becky! which is not so convoluted as Thunderbird, has no adds, and you do not need to use an HTML viewer or creator unless you wish too to read or write mail. It is quick at gathering mail, has pop and that other format which I can't remember the name of but it is seriously implemented, is very easy to set up, and configure. ----- Curtis Delzer, HS.
