I arrow down quickly past repeating character lines when I know where
they are. That's the only thing I have found to work for me. I've
gotten really good at it and can tell when I am tired because all the
sudden I will realize I've been listening to lines of characters. LOL
It would be nice to just ignore these lines though. That and html
brower based navigation in the RSS reader.
I have noticed that my emails take awhile to delete when I delete them
it takes awhile to get to the next one. This might be because I have
over 3,000 emails in it but I'm not sure. Makes it hard to go through
them though. Anyone else have this problem?
