I agree, Don. David and Cindy both had good points. The link you have
suggested is new to me, though. I can navigate Outlook and Outlook
Express much the way you and David have indicated, and I use the braille
only output on JAWS. I hope I did not mislead Catherine on my computer
literacy. I'm no software expert but I'm proficient on the products I
need at work and at home, the OS now being Windows XP and the Office
Suite is 2003, I think. My post of several weeks ago was strictly for
the moderator to change formats on that end.
Thanks!

David's message is a good one. =20
I would strongly suggest that people learn the key shortcuts for their
email program. This information and other useful things can usually be
found under the help menu of the particular program.
Another source for listings of hot keys for many programs is located
at:
http://www.accesstechnologyinstitute.com
locate the link for resources, hit enter on that, and then look for the
link called reference cards for popular applications. =20
Even if you find a card for your email program but a different version
than what you have, the keyboard hotkeys are very likely to work. =20

I work with JAWS and Outlook 2002, but the general principles apply for
Outlook Express as well. Many other programs use the same techniques.
Most programs use the tab key to go from one field to another. The
shift-tab will cycle through the fields in the opposite direction. So,
as Don said, in Outlook using the shift-tab from the main editing
window will bring you to the subject field. Other commonly used
commands are control-r or alt-r for reply, control-s or alt-s for send,
control-n for new message.
If you use Jaws, you can press insert-f1 to get context sensitive help
on the area of the program you are using. For example, if you are
replying to a message and want to see what commands are available for
that portion of the program, pressing insert-f1 will bring up a screen
with information on how to edit or read the fields. So, you will learn
that pressing alt-5 once gives you the current subject field contents;
pressing alt-5 twice quickly will put you in that field. Now you can
press shift-end to highlight that contents, and the delete key to erase
that contents so you can type your own new subject line. Or you can
edit that line using the left and right arrow keys to move by character,
control-right arrow or control-left arrow to move by word. If you use
the shift key in addition to these key combinations you will be
highlighting the information; then you can copy, cut and paste the
highlighted information as needed. Remember that these keys are pressed
simultaneously not sequentially.
Hope that helps, especially you JAWS users.
David

Subject: Help needed with subject lines and email programs
I've received a couple of posts asking about how to change subject lines
in some of the more pupular email programs. I know how to do this in
Pine which is what I use for email. I don't know how to do it in any of
the other programs such as Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.
If I can judge by a message which Maureen sent a couple of weeks ago to
the Optacon list, some other users are not sure how to make the "reply
to"
addresses show, how to reply to a list versus privately to an
individual, and how to choose whether or not to include the original
message.
In Pine it's easy to do these things because all the necessary questions
are asked with each reply message. In other programs I guess, it depends
on how the program is set. From the posts I've been receiving, some
listers don't know that these options can be changed.
Is anybody on the list conversant with any of the major email programs
enough to help with this? If so, please write to me privately, so that I
can contact the individuals who had problems with the necessary
information.
Thanks i;n acdvance for any help.
Catherine
