Andrew, I personally interact with the message table, use VO
right / left arrows to navigate to the subject or sender column, and
then simply use standard up / down arrows to quickly scroll through
the message list. To read a particular note, I use VO j and then VO j
back out of it to get back to where I was in the message list... Does
this make sense?...
I can go very quickly through lots of email this way. If I want to
delete a message, I use the delete key in the message list and not in
the message body itself. I've found that using the del key in the
message body causes the message list to lose focus, so that I need to
interact with it again, whereas if I VO j out of the message after
I've read it, I'm still focused in the message list...
HTH
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi,
Ok. What about the message list - this is more annoying than the
reading issue, as it takes ages before the message subject is read out
in the list.

you need to interact with the message to read it unless you want to
either press enter, vo-j or tab to read it.

Hi,
I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, I like the new voice.
I have though an annoying feature in Mail, in that when you are
arrowing
through the list of messages, it is reading various status
indicators,
and I just want the message subject (and possibly date) read out. I
managed to get rid of some of the information by removing some of the
columns from the view, but has anyone got any tips on getting this
back
as it was before?
The other thing in Mail is that reading via the cursor is irratic -
it
works quite a bit of the time, but for no reason, sometimes the
system
reads out the complete message, and the arrow keys have no effect.
Did clean reinstall - copied all user settings to external storage
first.
Thanks.
Andrew.
