The below instructions are great! You may need to be patient while moving
the pointer by pixels. On my machine one time it took almost 20 presses of
the ctrl-shift-numpad 6 to get to the graphic. Other times it was just a
few hits so hit the key and listen for the graphic. If you discover you've
added a column you don't want just go back to the list and press enter on
the same item and it will be removed. Everything's working well here except
for the attachment column, still working that one out. Like Aaron said in a
later message, the use of WE's mouse feature allows us to do a lot!

Subject: reordering the Thunderbird message columns
Hello all. Here is how to order the Thunderbird message columns the way
you want. Keep this message for the future and it will help you. Please
note that it sounds difficult, but is not after you do this a few times.
The message status is read through msaa, so there are no graphics to
label.
Find the line with the headers with the mouse pointer. This usually has
subject, date, from or something similar. Right arrow with numpad 6 to the
end of the line, or rather the last character of the line. Now
control-shift-numpad-6 to move by pixels to the end of the line,
eventually you will hear WE say graphic, when you do, left click there.
Now a menu opens up where you can use regular up/down arrows to choose
which items you want shown. I choose message status, priority, and
attachment. So press enter on the first one you want, and then left click
again to open that menu once more. As long as you don't move your mouse,
you can just left click each time you want to open the menu to add
something new.
Once you have added the ones you want, read the current mouse line with
numpad-5 and you will see that in addition to subject, date, and sender,
you will see the new ones you added. Now to order those headers in the way
you want, for example, I have status first then priority, then subject.
What you should do is mouse arrow to the one you want to move, press
insert-numpad-period and Window-Eyes will say mark. Now move to the left
of this line and you may be on subject. When you are on the first header,
press insert-numpad-period again and Window-Eyes will ask you if you want
to mark or drop. Choose Drop and the item you marked to move will drop in
its place. So now you have just reordered a column. Keep repeating this
procedure until the columns are in the way you want and as you up/down
arrow in your message list, if you have status set first as you arrow, you
will hear things like, read, replied to, new, unread, ETC.
I can't really give further information on this, but if I have time, I'll
do an audio demonstration on Thunderbird and it will help those who still
need it. It should anyway.
Hope this helps.
