Which verbosity level are you using? One of the first things I do when setting up a new version is to specify advanced-level verbosity. I'm not sure which of the two upper levels will shut this up, so try intermediate first, and, if that doesn't do it, go to advanced.

Is there a way to have jaws quit saying this phrase when I open every e-mail? It gets to be a drag.
