I think the known problem is as basic as there is no msaa in thunderbird
so any success is co-incidental. Try it with SAToGo though

Adrian, Thanks. It's version 1.5.0.2
I sent an e-mail OK just now, but couldn't reply to yours without a Jaws
re-start.
I'll keep playing, there's a few possibilities, but I wondered if any
known problems were known either in Jaws 7.0135 or TBird.
