In an open message, the delete key works if you are reading in HTML format but 
if reading in plain text--you have to use control-delete when an in an open 
message--with Jaws 6.0 and above at least and windows XP/SP-2.

Actually the only time that the delete key is to work is when the message is
not open. When there is nothing running but outlook express and I want to
delete an open message I need to use control d. If the message is not open
then the delete key works. I think this might be because the delete key is a
specific windows control key and not an application specific key stroke.
JAWS has nmade it possible to use the delete key where windows alone does
not.
