Hi In Outlook, pressing alt+numrow 1 twice quickly will place the cursor in the from field and speak it. But you're still in the from field and have to tab back to the message body. However, pressing alt+numrow 1 only once will read the from field but leave you in the message body. Also, there's an option in the Outlook quick settings, JAWSkey+v while in Outlook, to have messages read automatically when you open them. In the Outlook quick settings, tab once to get into the tree view and then arrow down to reading options. One of the reading options is messages automatically read. To Set it, make sure the check box is checked, then tab to OK and press enter to save.

I knew I could shift tab, but didn't realize about the alt 1 pressed twice quickly. This will work, especially when people don't sign their emails (which I've been known to forget to do).
