I don't always get the click in that box, but it does capture the characters as it replaces them with bullets. I have had sighted people try it with the same results.
I am now wondering if there is a way that I can go in and grab the file that stores the Mac Mail from the administrator's account. Anybody know where it is stored and whether I would be able to just grab it and import into the administrator email account?
