Hi David,
Below is some snippets I have kept from Mac e-mail lists.
Hope this might be of some use.

5. I am desperate for help in fining attachments; vo tells me there is
one, but
I can't seem to find it. I've done all sorts of itterations of turning long
headers
on, interacting with toolbar, interacting with message text, and the list
goes on!
It just escapes me!
The attachment appears as "slide show." If you click or do vo-space on
that, you
can find your attachments.
• If there is an attachment, just turn on long Headers, cmd-shift-h then
navigate
left to the Save menu item, press VO-space to activate and choose the item
to save.
Ok, to find an attachment, go to the message headers by scrolling to the
left past
the messages table.
Now, you will see a popup button. A popup button is the equivalent to a
combo box
in windows.
This popup button gives the option to save the attachment in your downloads
folder.
When you attach a file or view attachments, it will sometimes put it at the
bottom.
It is displayed as an image to VoiceOVer, or rather...that is the sound
VoiceOVer
uses to indicate there is an attachment. If you receive an attachment from a
Mac
user, you will probably notice that it can be placed anywhere that their
cursor was
located when they attached the file. If it is a Windows user, it will
probably be
placed at the bottom however, to save yourself a headache, you can go to the
message
contents where there will normally be a disclosure triangle you can expand
to view
the attachment, and next to that you can select options for the attachments,
and
which ones to apply the action to. If you don't manage to find this, you can
go to
the file menu and hit "Save attachments".
6. I know what the attachment is and decide to save it. I go to file and
save
attachment and when the filename dialogue box comes up, it doesn't read the
name
of the file. Is there a way to hear that?
My VoiceOver reads the attachment just fine including the name if I actually
move
to the text field. If you have multiple attachments you wish to save, you
cannot
change their names of course and no text field will appear. If you
VO-Shift-M on
the attachment within the mail (if you manage to find it) you can get
options such
as "Open attachment", "Open with", "Quick Look" etc. If you find the popup I
was
talking about earlier right next to the "Message headers" element, you can
choose
to save all or one at a time by hitting enter on their names.
A quicker way to do things is first to see what the attachment is by
pressing Command-y to get a Quick Look.
If you want to save the attachment, use the Item Chooser (VO-i) to find the
Save button. Click it and you'll get the usual dialogue box where you choose
where to save the attachment.
