Thanks to those who have been trying to help me with this issue.
It is now resolved. I'll tell you how and what happened though I still don't understand quite why.
I went to the Jaws menu and the check for updates. I had thought I had installed both of the available updates after the CD installation but one either failed or in some way didn't install, anyway, one showed as available so I checked it and had it install.
Once the computer rebooted and I reloaded Outlook Express the edit window became responsive.
Another interesting thing is that the Open message option appeared in the Jaws+V verbosity menu.
I went through all the menu options but as far as memory serves this is the only item that was missing.
In the end though that was not the issue, it was unchecked and of course the messages weren't being read automatically when open and Jaws did remind me to use the reading keys to read the message when it was open but the reading keys did now read the text in the body of the message. When I checked read message it does that now too.
Now if I can figure out why I can't print to my network printer and embosser as God intended I will be a more content camper.
