thats what i was worried about but didn't know how to put it. i'll send it as an attachment, but it is the same apple messages travis is talking about and yes, i want to be able to scan it not read the whole thing. smilesJessOn 14 Jan 2006, at PM1148, David Poehlman wrote:Some times, we'd like to be able to examine a message rather than just read it as one big chunk or skip through it. This is shere a problem comes in. sending it to the list might help but if you could send it as an attachment, it might preserve it in original form. When a topic of this nature came up a while back, forwarding the message changed its behaviour.-- Jonnie Apple Seed With his: Hands-On Technolog(eye)s On Jan 14, 2006, at 5:50 PM, Travis Siegel wrote:It doesn't matter how large the message is. When you're pointing to the html object, simply hit vo-A, and it will read the whole thing from top to bottom. I do this all the time with the apple emails, both for the adc select member emails, and for the dot mac update emails.On Jan 14, 2006, at 3:16 PM, Jessica Tyler wrote:i tried that, it didn't work, can i just forward it as is or do i need to do something else to it. at least then you can see what sort of message i'm talking about. VO keys and a won't be a good thing because the message is really large.

VO expresses all of these at least the body as html content. Once you get inside though, you might find rich text or html or mixed content.

I think your problem might be the way your trying to navigate the
message. In the web browser, vo-right arrow goes to the next item,
as does vo-down arrow (in most cases) However, in the mail program,
vo-right arrow stays on the same line, and goes a word at a time. vo-
down arrow reads the w
