Hi Barry -

While we're talking about Email reading issues, do you know what I need to do 
to stop Windows mail[probably the same in OE] from telling me all messages are 
"unread" when I've actually read them? Something to do with how they are 
marked, but I can't seem to fix it! -

Andy

  Hi Balal, 

  Try going into View on the menu bar, arrow down to Current View, then uncheck 
Group messages by Conversation.  That will stop OE grouping the messages in the 
thread together and your screenreader telling you that it has done so.

  Personally, I keep this turned on all the time as I get around 600 messages 
per day and, as you have found, you can delete an entire thread in one hit, 
which is one advantage of the group messages by conversation  setting.  Beware 
though, people will often start a new topic by replying to a message on a 
different topic and, although they will sometimes do the courtesy of changing 
the message subject line, OE looks at the buried information about the message 
that has been replied to and assumes that the new message is part of that 
thread, so unless you expand the collapsed messages and scan through them, you 
can miss something of interest.

  HTH & all the best,
  Barry G

    Hello.
    when I go thru my outlook express mail, next to some messages, jaws keeps 
on saying collapsed and expanded.
    I don't know how to get rid of this, so much so, that when I pressed the 
delete key, it deleted all my emails.
    Thanks
    Balal Hussain
    Kind regards Balal Hussain
