You don't know what works these days! well if it comes to that than neither do we <smile>, we were given an assurance that the problems with Thunderbird and Window-Eyes would be fixed in the latest 7.5.2 release when actually things have become worse.
WE and GW Micro are a laughing stock for this now, everyone else in the Screen Reader business has Thunderbird and browser issues sorted, all except GW Micro and their flagship Window-Eyes Screen reader. One GW-Info list member pretty much summed it up in my view when he said words to the effect that Window-Eyes has never been the same since scripts and apps were introduced.
