Okay,
1 interact with message table
2 use VO and the right or left arrows to find a message field. I.E.
author or subject
3 use the standard up or down arrows to locate a message
4 press VO J
5 press VO J again after you hear the message being read to you
You should now be back in the message table
5 press delete if you want to to delete the message you just read...

Are you using Leopard Mail? I hear interact with message table, then
I press VO J and get a bong. I stop interacting with the table and
hear stop interacting with message table and press VO J and again
nothing happens but the bong. I press enter on the message and it
speaks, then I press VO J and get the bong again. I have to either
delete the message or close the Window in order to get the response
you are getting.

interacting with your message table. find a message you want to
read, using your up / down arrow keys. Once you're on the message,
press VO J. You should then immediately be taken to the msg body
and it should begin reading. When you've heard enough, simply press
VO J again and you should then be returned to the msg table where
you were...

What is VO J supposed to do? I have tried this key combination in
every instance of mail and all I get is the bong sound each time.
I can interact, not interact, be in a message or not and this key
combination doesn't work anywhere. I think my computer is broke.

I have to concur with cara here. It takes a bit of getting used
to and I do things a bit differently in that I tab instead of vo
j, but it is fast.

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...

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.
