I read the whole thread before sending that message and still use tabbing more often than you. In the past six years since installing TB 1.34a, if that matters. PVN> I have a totally blind friend using JAWS. He doesn't complain. I thought the JAWS scripts for the latest TB version are not out yet? Or maybe that's only for the German version. If you have a link to the scripts in English, please let me know, I'll relay them to my friends. Anyway, if you interested in keyboard access and tabbing, please take a look at this message and see whether you can help: mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It refers to bug 0001762: Screenreaders having problems with non-standard GUI http://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=1762 Thanks. PVN> When reading a message the Tab sequence moves to the attachment after PVN> the message body. No problem here. The attachment is accessed _after_ PVN> the message which is appropriate. OK, I read in your message mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : "IMHO the tab sequence should ignore the attachment pane." This is what I protested against. As I said to Mary in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED], I have no fixed opinion about the order, whether the message pane should be reached by tabbing before or after the body. Important for me is that the message pane can be reached in the tab sequence at all. PVN> When working with the editor you should know if there is an PVN> attachment because you put it there and the most appropriate PVN> access is with a hotkey. Why would anyone want to tab through the PVN> attachment to write a message? I do open the attachment of *every* message I write, in order to check whether it's really the file I meant to access. I can do that before or after writing the actual message, so I don't care which gets acessed first. Others may care more about the order, so I am not making this a point. OTOH, in my bugreport 1762 mentioned above, the order is the whole point. -- Cheers, Thomas. Nachdem die Maenner 100m gekrault hatten, wickelten die Frauen ihre 200m Brust ab.
