OK folks, I've been experimenting and let's see if this can now be duplicated.
Essentially, if you focus onto the header of the message with a double press
of the alt key with a keyboard number, for instance, hold down alt then tap
number 6 twice to focus on the subject line of the header, when you tab back,
or for that matter shift-tab back, to the body of the message, browse mode does
automatically turn on and you can read the body of the message normally.
However, if you go to the header in the other way, that is, while in the body
of the message, you manually turn off browse mode with ctrl-shift-a, then tab
or shift-tab to the header of the message, when you then tab back to the body,
you need to manually turn on browse mode again. This used to not happen in
older versions of WE. Browse mode used to turn on automatically when coming
back to the body in this manner. Perhaps this isn't a true bug, since the
double keyboard number press with alt key method is now the more common way to
get to the header. However, I seem to recall that both methods worked in the
same way before this beta version.
Can this now be duplicated by folks? Is this a bug or just a "feature" of
the newer versions of WE?
Best,
Steve

Subject: Re: Browse mode and outlook express acting differently with beta 1
OK, I spoke too early, was confused. The problem isn't when editing a
message, it is during the reading of a message in outlook express. I've tested
again, and if I focus to the header area, then tab back to the body of the
message I am reading, browse mode doesn't turn on automatically as it did in
the past. I have to manually turn on browse mode. What happens when I tab
into the body of the message is that I'm put on a link in the message, if there
is one, rather than browse mode turning on, allowing me to up and down arrow
through the message body. I've reinstalled the factory set files to version
1.6 I think that is what the version is, and have a maximized reading window
while reading messages. Anybody else having this problem? Some have reported
to me they are not.
Thanks

OK,
I had my factory sets set to the default, but reinstalled them anyway,
also maximized the editing window. Now it seems the problem is gone. But
since I didn't do this one step at a time, I'm not sure if it got fixed because
of the reinstalling of the factory sets, or through the maximization. I'll
report back in a day or so to let you all know if the problem is really fixed.
I've just tested this on this message.
Thanks for the advice,
Steve

Hi Stan and Steve,
Try making sure your outlook express set files are updated to the
wineyes 7.2 beta. This should solve the problem.

I am using the same configuration with Outlook Express that you
mentioned and am not having this problem.

Subject: Browse mode and outlook express acting differently with beta
1
I'm using 7.2 beta1, outlook Express, xp service pack 3.
I've just now noticed a difference in the way browse mode is acting
in outlook express. If you use the alt 1 through 7 keys to focus on any of the
items in the header, for instance by pressing alt6 twice to focus on the
subject line, when you tab back to the body of the message, browse mode doesn't
automatically turn on. You have to manually turn it on with ctrl-shift-a
command. It used to automatically turn itself on when tabbing back to the body
of the message.
I don't know if this change of behavior happened in the beta or in
version 7.11.
Before the introduction of the alt plus number keys to read the
header lines, and/or focusing on the header, I used to get to the header of the
message by turning browse mode off in the body of the message with
ctrl-shift-a, then ttabbing or shift-tabbing to the header. This method of
getting to the header from the body still works, which is fine, and Often, I
still do this out of habbit.
Regardless of how you focus on the header, Now when you tab back to
the body, you have to manually turn on browse mode with ctrl-shift-a. I'm
quite sure it used to turn browse mode on automatically in earlier versions of
WE, but can't be sure this new behavior started in the beta or in version 7.11.
It seems to me the way it's acting now can cause confusion,
especially to a beginner.
Steve
