Ray, I used Thunderbird briefly with Window-Eyes 5.5 demo, and, although
it looked accessible, I think there were a few MSAA issues, which I
believed were fixed in 6.0? I have, however, never tried Thunderbird
with JAWS, and I'm currently unable to at the moment due to the way I'm
connected to the internet. However, when I leave for the summer I may
give it a shot with JAWS 8.0.423 demo since I'll be connected through
AOL Dial-up then.
