I can do everything but the VO J thing. The way you described in
your message is how I learned on Tiger and I did not know about the
VO J Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work for me? Is there a
setting or a view I need to have set?

here are two ways to do this, find the messages with tab, arrow up
and down through the list till you find the message you seek, tab
and listen, shift tab and either delete or go on.
Press enter on a message and listen, close and or delete and move on.
Press vo j to read the message, press vo j to go back to the list
and either delete or move on. No interacting needed unless you
want to position yourself on a column heading such as subject or
sender. In this case, interact with the message table, vo left/
right to the column heading you want to hear, stop interacting with
the messages table, press vo j to read a message after up or down
arrowing to it and vo j to get back to the list.

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.
