That might be part of the solution to the cursor problem. Tom Behler ----- Original Message ----- From: "Teresa Cochran" <vegaspipistrelle@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:43 PM Subject: Re: Thunderbird Yes, I use insert-z to turn off the virtual cursor once I get to the body of a message. If I don't, nothing is typed in the body, and JAWS unhelpfully tries to indicate that there are no anchors, comboboxes, or other quick-key access things on the page. I'm going to double-check and see that I'm composing in text-only and not HTML. thanks, teresa michael wrote: > What's the issue with html messages I type new messages as I normally > would and have no reason to need to turn nursers on or off. > > Daniel McGee wrote: >> Hi Teresa, have you tryed using the jaws key and pressing the letter Z >> when your in a message to write?
