Re: not deleting messages

James,
If you have another screen reader on your system, you can prove that Delete 
does call a script, at least when a message is open in Outlook Express.  With 
another screen reader running, try pressing Delete while a message is open.  I 
think you'll find that the message is not deleted, as it is with JAWS.  If 
you're in the message list, however, Delete works no matter which screen reader 
you are running.  If you don't have a script, you must press Control+d to 
delete an open message.  This is why I don't like reading email with 
Window-Eyes.  I like to press Delete to get rid of the message I've just read 
and bring up the next one.

  The delete key doesn't call a script to delete a message either. It does call 
a script to tell you the message has been deleted, but that's all. Therefore, 
it isn't a JAWS problem.

  James,
  This could be JAWS-related because when you press Delete to delete a message 
in Outlook Express, it calls a script.  If this script doesn't work for some 
reason, your message doesn't get deleted.  As someone pointed out, Control+d 
works when Delete doesn't.  This is because Control+d is an Outlook Express key 
combination and doesn't call a script.

    What does this have to do with JAWS? I didn't see anything here that did.

    Just for kicks, try this: While in the list of messages, hit alt E and then 
Y and Y again to rid yourself of deleted messages.

      I can't move messages to the deleted messages folder, but I can move them 
to other folders. I tried emptying the deleted messages folder and it won't 
work either.
