Hi, I'm sorry my instructions were not clear. I believe there are a few ways you can accomplish this task. Before the upgrade it was much easier to just focus on the message headers, interact with it then move to the senders address and press vo + spacebar because the sender's name/e-mail address was a menu button which opened a few options such as copy or reply to sender. Now it does not seem as simple to me.
So, here is one way I have been able to accomplish replying to the sender directly instead of the entire list. 1. Use the vo + arrow keys to get to the message header. I believe you will hear voiceover say something like message header. 2. press vo + shift + down arrow to interact with message headers. 3. Press vo + right arrow once, you should hear voiceover say "from". 4. Press vo + enter. This will allow you to highlight. 5. Press vo + right arrow once. You should hear voiceover announce the sender's name/e-mail address. 6. Press vo + return to turn highlighting off. You should hear voice over announce what is highlighted. 7. Press vo + shift + M. This should bring up a context menu. 8. Arrow up and down through the options. You can copy address or I often use reply to sender which will open up a new message with the sender's address already entered in the "to" field and the curser should be in the message area where you can type your message. This e- mail should behave as any other message you reply to. I also believe you can choose an option to send a new message to the sender which will open up a new message with the address already entered in the "to" field. 9. Press vo + spacebar to select the option you want from the context menu. One other thing that can work depending on how the e-mail list serve is set up is to press command shift r to reply to all. Then you can go up to the message header, interact with it and delete the address of the e-mail group. However, this does not seem to be working for me for the macvisionaries list. This has worked for me in the past with other groups but I have not tried this since the upgrade to SL. I think it depends on how the e-mail group list serve is set up. One other thing which I have not tried is to use command + shift + Y. This is to add the sender's address to your address book. I'm just not sure if it would add the group's e-mail address or the actual sender's address. You could try this command plus shift plus y and then open a new message to compose and then in the "to" field you can just try typing their name or the first few letters of their address.
