I have always found it just as easy to amend my Freelist settings from the Freelists website. You can immediately see that your changes have taken effect.

As said,I am using Outlook 2000, and I've temporarily set jaws to read all graphics and punctuation. You may be seeing something that Jaws isn't detecting, so how would I try to find out what it is and turn it off?

This breaks up a vital part of the message which is actually a command line to tell the list software something. In most cases, if you temporarily stop this happening, then send your reply to freelists, the command will go through.

Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: <alex.thynne@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 10:31 AM Subject: [access-uk] freelists commands > Hi > > Although I did get on the lists I wanted to so far on freelists, I found > the > process difficult, taking a number of attempts before getting on a couple, > and I was unsuccessful at one time in trying to change my mail delivery > option to vacation.
