Cara,
You are correct, this can be crippled though by moving the splitters.

Hmmm... I'm following exactly the steps I'd sent along in the
email and it works fine. I actually don't use VO shift arrows at
all...
Thanks for the note...

you need to stop interacting with vo shift up arrow after
selecting your column for this to work at least, I do.

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.

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.

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.
