[macvoiceover] Re: Copying text from mail

David,

Just FYI.
Even with the preview pane open, you can still do all of the things you mentioned, with fewer keystrokes than by opening additional child windows. (I don't see the how the distinction matters in this case, BTW.) Tab/Shift-Tab moves back and forth between the tables without hitting the preview pane. VO-J jumps into the message and begins reading it. VO-J jumps you back to the messages and does *not* require you to reinteract with the messages table, which saves me a keystroke. Pressing delete while the message is reading deletes the message and automatically puts you back in the message list, just like doing it from an opened window.
So, whichever way you choose, it's more a matter of personal preference I think than what is actually a pain or not. I think this is important, because a lot of people will pay attention if ou tell them something is a pain and never try it. In this case, it's just a matter of personal taste, not any tangible difference.

first, you are not opening and closing windows, you are opening and closing child windows and for me this is much better and fewer keystrokes because I often tab between the mailbox list and the messages list and the paine of a payne gets in the way. Yes, this is somewhat of a holdover from my windows days but I like the feel of a clean interface, only two columns to tab between when I want to tab. I press enter on a message, command-w to close or delete to delete and I'm back in the list.
