ron, maybe you can tell me how you read messages. all of your instructions worked well but I don't seem to see the message text. does the sender text aprear in the same window as the received text? do you use arrows or vo curser?

John,I'm still using Adium, and I'm managing just fine. Don't mess around with Fire, as it's no longer in development. In fact, some of the developers of Fire are now on the Adium team.My workaround for the current inaccessibility of Adium, is to select a contact with VO, then, do Command-Shift-I to get info on that contact. I do this till I find the contact I'm looking for, then do a double-click with VO to open a message window for that contact. The rest works fine. The same technique works for finding out what group you're in, as well.As to setting events, each item in the list does have a "help tag", so you can figure out which event you want to edit.Yes, this is a pain, but until the Adium folks finally get around to merging the accessibility code back into the program, in a future version, this is the best we have.I agree with you, the procedure for accessing MSN contacts in iChat is a bit much , and it's much better to use a client which does MSN natively.HTH? RonTim, thanks I do remember this but would rather look for a client that does this nativly. Thanks for the help and where to look for the jabra info.----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Grady To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 1:03 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: instant messaging client on leopardLook at the archives. There was a discussion a few days ago of how to set up Ichat to do this. You have to set up a jabber account in Windows and do it on a server with a MSN gateway. Somewhere in the archive there should be a message with a link in it to tell you exactly how to do this. Basicly what you do is use a Windows Jabber client like PSI to create a Jabber account, then when you're connected you do a service discovery in PSI and look for MSN. After you make sure to sign on you don't need PSI any more. Set up your Jabber account in Ichat and you're on your way. The only thing is that PSI is totally inaccessable so you'll need sighted help for that part.On Nov 8, 2007, at 9:40 PM, John W. Hess wrote:is anyone using anything that supports MSN?
