Hi Victoria, Here is something you can try. It sounds like you need to widen your, From column, so more characters will show. Try the following; 1. Go to the view menu, by pressing Alt + V. 2. Press the letter C, for columns. 3. Arrow to / highlight the, From option, & Press alt W for the pixels wide edit field. 4. Jaws will read you a number, backspace out this number and try entering a larger number such as 250. I have experimented & this#,250, works just fine. 5. Now, press enter to okay & close.
Let us know if this helps. If it doesn't, there are a couple of other options. Take care.

So often, I only can find their name and not their full email address. This is so annoying when I wish to write to just them and not the whole list. Many thanks!
