But don't necessarily trust JAWS + A to tell you there is an attachment. It 
frequently fails to detect one. An attachment may be present but that script 
not se it or bring up the selection dialog.

I frequently discover that, in an open message I can find the attachment with 
the Jaws cursor, often it is not fully readable but double left mouse clicking 
on it will initiate that dialog. The virtuous cursor doesn't seem to see it 
there.

Jaws may or may not announce an attachment. It is my experience that this 
feature is very unreliable.
