OK that worked I think. I mean it did what you said it would, but it is only
because I don't know the Mail program all that well. I am trying to learn my
systems behavior to gage how to navigate certain things.

OK when I got to the splitter I press VO, Shift and space bar quickly
and heard two short click sounds and when I tab I still hear splitter.
What do I do or how do I verify it was done correctly?
When you are on the Splitter, go to last item (VO-Shift-end, on a laptop
you have to do VO-Shift-FN-Right arrow). You'll hear "Message Content".
Interact with this. If the Preview pane is still there, you'll be in a
message, if it's gone, you'll hear "Message Body" and "Message Headers",
but there won't be an actual message there.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Shaun,
To double-click, you simply press vo-keys-Shift-Spacebar twice quickly.
Cheers,

Can you explain getting rid of the thing and the whole clicking on
the splitter thing?
The Splitter separates the Preview pane from the Inbox Messages
Table.
The Preview pane shows the contents of the message that is currently
highlighted. Whether you read this message or not, it will be marked
as Read. If this is a "Spam", this may alert the sender to the fact
that the message has been received.
Double-clicking on the Splitter drags it to the bottom of the window
and gets rid of the Preview pane. Now only the messages you choose
to open and read will be marked as Read. It also speeds up browsing
through the table of messages.
You can read down any column by positioning yourself on that column
and using VO-keys and the Up and Down arrows.
You can mark any emails as junk by pressing Command-Shift-j. If you
have set Mail to put all messages marked as Junk into the Junk
Mailbox, any messages you mark as Junk will be put there
immediately.
You can erase your Junk mail by pressing command-Option-j.
Cheers,
Anne
