P.S.

David, I just happened to shift tab in another open message on this list to 
read the headers, and to my surprise, Jaws said "real" only for each line of 
the header.  Maybe this is what you're concerned with?  I mean, this 
descriptive phrase seems pretty gratuitous here; I never even thought of 
revising one of the lines of the header on some incoming email.  Is this 
part of the story?  Jaws has suddenly begun picking up some code and 
announcing it in places where you already knew you couldn't type, and it 
just gets tiresome to have Jaws repeating that all the time?  Does Jaws ever 
announce "read only" somewhere where it's really helpful to know?
