Hello,
To get Thunderbird and NVDA working together make sure you are using
NVDA 0.6 P2 or newer and Thunderbird 3 beta.
Older Thunderbird versions can't provide the info about the system caret
in its editable fields including new message composition area.
Also there are some problems composing HTML email messages so it's best
to send and receive your messages in plain text.
Here are some settings I am using (but they are not required).
Menu View -> Toolbars -> Mail Toolbar: unchecked
Menu View -> Layout -> Classic View: checked
Menu View -> Layout -> Message Pane F8: uncheck if you don't like
message preview
Menu View -> Message Body As -> Plain Text: checked
Menu View -> Display Attachments Inline: Uncheck if you don't want to
see attachment content in the message window or if you experience
problems opening long messages.
menu Tools -> Account Settings… : Browse over the list of all the
accounts created, expand all and uncheck the box saying "Compose
messages in HTML format" on the respective "Composition & Addressing "
pages.
Also for blind people there is a problem rearranging columns in the
message list. I don't like the default order and I've changed it
manually a little it to suit my needs. For example I am first getting
tag, status (read/replied/forwarded etc), from, subject and then date
and all the rest. All the modifications are inside a file called
localstore.rdf. I am attaching my localstore.rdf so you can place it
into your profile folder. Default Thunderbird profiles folder is at
%appdata%\Thunderbird\profiles under windows XP. Simply search for a
file called localstore.rdf and replace it with this one if you are
interested in this tweak. Please close your Thunderbird before replacing
this file. Also please first replace this file and then check the
options I have listed above.
Thunderbird does not yet expose the info whether a particular message
has an attachment or not. But there is a workaround. Thunderbird
supports message tagging. It means you can tag your messages. This can
also be done automatically using Message Filters. You can add such
feature as follows:
1) go to your inbox and set focus to the message list.
2) invoke a context menu by pressing applications key, activate "New
Tag…" from the "Tag" sub menu and give it a meaningful name e.g. attachment.
3) You will perhaps realize that currently selected message will now be
reported with this new tag inside its list item text. You can remove it
by invoking the context menu and unchecking that tag in the "Tag" sub menu.
4) There is no user interface for setting up filtering according to the
attachment status. So unfortunately we won't go to the menu "Tools" ->
"Message Filters…" and we will have to edit the file manually. See the
attached msgFilterRules.dat file for the complete example. You can
customize the file. On the 3rd line there is a name of the rule which
will appear in the filters dialog.
name="attachment"
and the most important is the line number 7
actionValue="attachment"
It should include the name of the tag you have added in step 2.
5) After customizing the file msgFilterRules.dat you have to close your
Thunderbird if it's already running and copy this file into the proper
folder. In your profile folder you will notice a sub folder named "mail"
or "imapmail" depending on what type of incoming server your email
provider offers to you. Then inside this "mail" / "imapmail" folder you
will get another folder based off of actual incoming server address e.g.
if you are using gmail over imap you will get something like
"imapmail\imap.gmail.com". This is the place where you have to put the
file msgFilterRules.dat to. Please note if you had some filters created
for the account in question by overwriting the file msgFilterRules.dat
you will trash all the filters. If you had no filters previously you can
just overwrite the file. In the future you can manage your Message
filters using Thunderbird's dialogs however you should not edit the
entry you have added manually.
