Hi Andy, To change it to read the whole message, if you want to, instead of 24 lines, do the following:- 1. Go into Outlook or Outlook Express, or whatever Email program you are using. 2. Press Insert-V for Verbosity. Note, there is no need to enter the Window-Eyes control panel for the verbosity options. 3. Arrow down to Browse Mode. 4. Tab once to Elements. 5. Press N for New Page. 6. Now tab several times, until you hear "Read first 24 lines, radio button checked". At this point, arrow down once to "Read Entire Page Radio Button Checked". Now tab to OK and press Enter. 7. Finally, save the set file, Alt-F, S for Save, S for Set file, and you're done. Now, whenever you open a message, the entire message will be read. Personally, I prefer HTML messages, because you can use web style navigation to get round messages. For example, if they have a lot of links at the top, you can press D for Different Control, and you will zip straight past all those links, and straight to the text. I hope this helps.

I've just moved from JAWS to WindowEyes. WindowEyes is currently bing shipped with a default of reading the first 24 lines of an Outlook Express message. I have been advised that I can change this, but may need to change from Plain Text to HTML. Am I not correct in thinking that many people experience difficulties reading messages in HTML, and that messages appear as black text on black backgrounds? To complicate matters further, as I usually do, I have my Media Centre OS set to High Contrast number 2. I'd write to George about this but have not yet copied his address over from my old computer to my new computer. I'd like to read messages to end of page, but if this means that many people are going to experience difficulty reading my messages, then, I could live with the 24 lines. Any advise would be very welcomed. Best wishes. Andy. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
