Hi Anne. This Mac newbee discovered something that those of you who know what you're doing may not have discovered because I don't think you would mess around on the keyboard with as much I guess desperation. I discovered that although the tab doesn't work like it did before, it does in fact go from message to message once you have gotten into the message list. In fact I got frustrated because it kept going to the next one, and I was very glad to discover the VO J command or the return would get into the message.
I also, and I don't know if this is new or not, found a way to control how many lines to hear in a message preview. So, it sounds like you could do what you want by going into the preferences and setting the number of lines you want to hear for a message preview and use the tab key to go from message to message without interacting with the VO J key unless you want to. You may discover that what I am saying is not completely true, and if you do, please let me know. Regards, Gigi On Oct 13, 2011, at 8:26 PM, M.
