Hi, 

I'll answer your first two questions, since I'd have to check the list archives 
and/or experiment for the current best answer question 3 on creating 
signatures.  Perhaps someone else could jump in here. Answers are interleaved 
after each question.

• To sort mail by date received, navigate to the messages table of mail and 
interact, then navigate to the "Date Received" column and sort using the 
VO-Shift-Backslash keyboard shortcut if you are using an English language input 
keyboard.  (The "Backslash" key is the rightmost key on an English input 
keyboard, just below the "Delete" key  and above the "Return" key; 
Shift-Backslash is announced as "Vertical Line").  If you are using another 
language for your keyboard entry, you may need to bring up the VoiceOver 
Commands menu (VO-H twice), then find "Sort Columns" under the "Table" 
commands.  Remember to interact before bringing up the Commands menu or trying 
to sort.  The sort command works this way for all tables -- the columns you 
choose to sort can be filename entries in Finder, song names or albums in 
iTunes,  etc.  In each case you need to interact with the table, then move to 
the column you wish to sort, and apply the keyboard shortcut for sorting.  If 
you apply the shortcut a second time, you will reverse the sort order (e.g., 
between ascending and descending).

> 2.  How does one jump from the list of mails from the top to the bottom?
• In mail, the easiest way to move to either the top or bottom of the list is 
to hold down the Option key + up arrow (for the top) or down arrow (for the 
bottom), and just wait a little bit.  You'll be moved from your present 
position to either the top or bottom of the list.  (This tip is specific to 
mail.)  Also, you should know that Option+up arrow or down arrow (not held 
down, but tapped) moves you to previous and next messages in a thread (whether 
or not you have chosen to organize your posts by thread in the "View" menu of 
mail).
> 3.  Please advise as to how to create signatures?
• I'll leave this to someone else to follow up as the easiest away around the 
current bug.
