Re: [Blind-Computing] Opening Attachments in Windows Mail

Thank you very much Sir. Now could you provide me the steps for achieving the same using Windows Live mail just in case that is what she has? I thought about making a tandem connection but this lady is so paranoy about messing up her computer I really don't know how else to get through.
Started being her friend some tenyears ago. we use to communicate through Braille and cassette but now that she got a computer she asked for my help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MWB" <[email protected]>

Hi Steve,

I am going to give you 2 sets of steps.  The first will be for opening an
attachment & the second will be for saving an attachment.  I just sent
myself an attachment from my XP Pro computer to my Windows7 computer running 
Windows Mail, yes, Windows Mail, not Windows Live Mail.  Running Windows
Mail with Windows7 can be done, and is done by many people.

#1, Opening An Attachment;

1. Open the email.
2. Press Insert + the letter A, make sure that the attachment is
highlighted, & press enter on it.
3. She might get a message stating, " Mail Attachment Security Warning, do
you want to open this file?"  This is normal so, not to worry.  Now, she
should, shift + tab, 1 time to Open, & press the spacebar,  Now this
attachment should open & play if it's a sound file or if it's a picture or
something she should be able to view if her computer is set-up for the
correct file associations.

#2, Saving An Attachment
1. Open the email.
2. Press Alt + F, for the file menu.
3. Arrow down to save attachments....., & press enter.
4. Now, she will tab to the save button & press enter / spacebar.  By
default the attachment should go into her My Documents / Documents folder & 
she can navigat to this folder to play / open it there.
Steve, if possible,another thing you can try is doing a Tandem session with her. This way you can be showing her & explaining things to her at the same 
time.

Hope this helps.  Take care.
Mike

M, I am understanding that he wants to Open an attachment. Not Save it. If 
I am wrong, maybe he will clarify for us.

HI Steve,
I have a strong suspicion you are not describing the problem correctly. :) 
This is my issue with third person trouble shooting. Is she using windows
mail or windows live mail. Its important you post correct information or
else there is lots of confusion and unnecessary posts as we're now seeing. 

If someone out there would like to help out, please launch WLM and go to
the
file menu and look for a save attachments option.

HI Steve,
Call or email your friend and tell her that in jaws she can either press 
insert + A or simply use the file menu as it has a save attachments
option.
