Thanks to all who made suggestions. Remember, I'm using Windows XP and
Window-Eyes 6.1. So, to the extent there are issues in WE7.0, they likely
existed in 6.1 already.
Here is what I did:
1. I installed the factory Outlook sets and graphic dictionary.
That didn't help. Read status and the presence/absence of attachments and the
"replied" and "forwarded" status flags ("Flags") still were not read.
2. I checked to make sure XP was set to "Classic" and to about every
"standard" default setting I could. That didn't help either.
3. I told Window-Eyes to label graphics automatically. That too didn't help.
4. I got my secretary to come in, and using the WE mouse movement keys, I
manually labeled the "forwarded", "attachment", "replied", and "unread" status
Flags. That sort of helped.
If I read the message list using the mouse, I pretty consistently heard the
Status Flags.
I saved the graphic dictionary and set file, closed Outlook, and opened it
again.
I now sort of consistently hear the Status Flags, but the jury is still out on
the "unread" Status Flag. The "forwarded" and "attachment" Flags seem to work
perfectly.
There may be something unique in our set-up of which neither WE nor I is aware.
I'm a lawyer and our army of security experts like to mess with applications
behind the machines to maintain the privacy, confidentiality, and security of
our system.

Thanks to all who made suggestions.
This is a fantastic list.
