Hello Larry
Thank you for your reply. I found Thunderbird became more and more
difficult to use after version 60.4.0 and so, I eventually went back to
that version. It works well with my 64 bit laptop apart from the
editing problems I mentioned previously. I agree WE is becoming less
and less useful but I often find We works with somethings that other
screen readers cannot cope with. I am intending to keep it on my
machines so long as it is useful.
Best wishes
Mike - G0VMG

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.
