Mike,
Although I sure hope that someone has a satisfactory solution to your
issue, I'm afraid that WE is simply becoming less and less usable as
time goes on.
As for me and Thunderbird, If I wish to simply read a message, I have to
select the entire message with ctrl+a, and use the read to end combo
ctrl+shift+r, but there is really no way to use the editor, all of this
at least with the 64bit version. Chances are that if I had not chosen to
upgrade in this way, Thunderbird would be more manageable. As it is, I
have to move to either The Fish, or NVDA to make any significant use of
Thunderbird.
Another way to read text in a message is to save to either a text or
html file, but what a PITA.
Frankly, the thing tha t keeps me attached to WE is the Winamp scripts,
and not least, WE's version of Eloquence. I really do not like the
reading pace of Eloquence with JAWS, and increasingly NVDA. I will have
to admit though, to using an illegal version of IBM Eloquence with NVDA,
and can't make use of my Code Factory edition of same with either screen
reader for some reason.
Anyway, that is only my two cents worth on the matter, and I'm quite
sure that is just about all it is worth <smile>.
Have a great day,
Larry

Hello Everyone
Continuing the thread of email, I have a different issue.
For a couple of years now Thunderbird is proving almost impossible to
edit or modify the text I am writing. Writing continuously there
isn't any difficulties. However, if I need to cursor up to check what
I have written, I then start to get duplicate lines. Usually, there is
just one additional line but if I need to go up or down repeatedly, I
will get more and more copies of the same line.
I don't think these extra lines are actually there but WE certainly
keeps reading them.
Sometimes I have to resort to writing the text in notepad and then
copying it across. Since I moved to Windows 11 notepad is also
becoming a problem.
With thanks
Mike.
