Hi Chris,
I thought I knew someone else with the same problem, but
have just realised that you are the same Chris who asked
about this on the UK-Vise list.
I'm inclined to think this may be an issue specific to
Turnpike, but unfortunately I don't know anyone who uses
this mail package.
If maximising the window doesn't help, followed by a screen
refresh, I really am stuck.
Have you contacted Steve Nutt, who is a very knowledgeable
Window Eyes dealer in the U.K.?
George.
