Hello David, Indeed. I couldn't get the VoiceOver cursor into the column headings themselves in order to click. Thanks to some advice from my Twitter followers, though, I was able to accomplish it by pressing VO-Shift-Backslash. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Poehlman Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 11:08 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Sorting messages in descending received-date order? Hi D; Mail help says: " Sorting messages You can change the order in which messages are displayed in the Mail viewer window. To sort messages: Click a column header in the viewer window. For example, to sort messages by sender, click the From column header. . To reverse the sort order, click the column header again. . ", but I cannot get it to work.
