Here's the solution to a similar but different problem I've had with
Thunderbird for a long time.
If I change focus to another program while composing a message,
typically to reference some information needed for the message, often
but not always I can't read anything when I return to the message
window. But if I press Control-S to save the message it then reads fine.
Hth,
Tom

When I am composing a message, I am unable to read what I have just written.

at least say this.
My version of Thunderbird updated on me without either permission or
encouragement. Naturally I did a double-take and hoped and prayed that
my ability to edit would continue, and with my good luck or divine
intervention, it continued to function as it should.
One thing that really annoys me is that every time I go to open up the
program, it takes an eternity to load and otherwise settle down. I was
told that I should remove all add ons, but the only one I have is the
spellchecker, and removing that didn't help either, but I wasn't going
to go without that one anyway.
I said all that only to say that I haven't encountered the editing
problem at all, up to this point anyway - knock on wood.

On this Windows 7 machine I am still using Windows Live Mail 2012. I'm
not sure where you can get it. You would need the SET files and apps
that GW developed for it. It has its quirks, but works well for me.
You may want to work with Thunderbird and NVDA, but I have no
experience with that combination.

Listers,
Could need a bit of info here.
As you know, the latest updates to Thunderbird, have broken the
accessibility when writing new messages, as well as replying to any
message received. Seeing how they slowly broke down any cooperation with
WE in Firefox, I do take the guess, this is just the beginning of the
end for our ability to use Thunderbird along with WinEyes. I do cling to
my WinEyes, among other things, due to the fact that it is the only
screen reader that to a certain extent works with some websites I am
relying on. Like for instance our local grocery store, where neither
NVDA or Jaws will let me do my shopping properly. Only good old WinEyes.
Anyway, I want to have a backup for my mailing activity, the day when
Mozilla finally pulls the plug for WinEyes and Thunderbird. What
alternatives do we have, now adays? I know some of you have mentioned
Becky. Is that the only one? Outlook, OK, but that demands me running
Office - and does it work with all versions of office? Should I decide
to go for things like Becky, will there be a steep learning curve? And
will there be any particular settings or twixings to be done in my
screen reader?
Any feedback you might have, I am open ears. If you have some idea as to
the functionality with any of the other screen readers, along with a
given mail client, I want to know your experiences. Would be great,
could I find a mail client, which worked with whichever screen reader i
happen to have up running at any time.
Oh, and two more questions:
Where to get the client you might suggest? And is it for free, Annual
payment, or Lifetime priced?
Thanks alot, all of you.
