Hi Daniel, I'm not sure what is happening to you. Are you using classic view in mail. The easiest thing is to just hit enter on the message to read it. It seems like you are doing a lot of work. If you use the standard view, the basic message info is read by VoiceOver as you arrow down your message list. Take Care John D.
