Thanks Gary. I do delete messages I don't need, but I get lots of good suggestions from this list, and I save them in my folder for Bookshare messages. It's no problem counting down and finding the oldest unread message, but I just wondered if there was some way to get Window-Eyes to announce whether a message is unread. Btw, I believe you had asked if someone could find out the condition of Ann Coulter's book, Slander, on the Bookshare site. I'm reading it, and it appears to be in good shape, other than an occasional slash for I. Ranked Spelling only gives it 97.35, but it looks like most of the problem words are proper names.

You can erase them at your leisure. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paula and James Muysenberg To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 8:00 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OE & irc Thanks for the help, everyone. I feel a little foolish, however, as I now realize I don't know how to get Window-Eyes to tell me which messages are unread. I usually just check to see how many unread messages are in a folder, and then count, until I get to what I think is the bottom of the list of new messages. Can anyone tell me how to get WE to say, "Unread Message"? Thanks again.

Of corse you have to be sitting on that email. I don't know any key board commands to directly do it. hops this help, because I almost gave you mouse diections too. <vbg> Gerard, I can only live in front of my computer soo much. I was eating supper when her message came in. <vbg> I'm running a strong risk of using this list like another irc channel, so don't mind my irc short hand. :) Kelly C
