Kieth I agree with you. A screen reader is by definition a program that reads material on the screen. It is not an email program. Sure we want a tool that can do all the things we want of it but that is unfortunately not possible. In my experience Window Eyes is a great product and GW Micro is a great company with excelent customer support. This list, script central, and a human voice helping you with your problem when you call GW in a prompt and efficient manner are a few examples that GW shines above the competition. Sure Script Central is intended to be a community effort but it shows that GW is passionate about accessibility and realizes their weaknesses and believe that users should know about them. What company do you know would say "Hey, we won't be abel to work on scripts for our product but we'll let you so you can make the product better and customize it to your own taste while we make under the hood improvements to the product." I know of very few companies that do this so don't criticize GW for the faults of Microsoft. They're doing what they can to make WLM accessible. If you don't like it then write a script yourself, or if you're someone like me who doesn't know anything about scripting ask or hire someone to write a better script for you or use a different program. Let's not make this a bigger issue then it needs to be. Kieth if you can elaborate on why Window Eyes might die with Windows 8 I would very much like to hear it. Thanks for reading.
