Hi David. If I were you I would use Microsoft Outlook as ny email client. I was playing with Windows Mail for a while but I found that Jaws doesn't work very well with this application. It took me a good while to get used to Microsoft Outlook but now I love it. Another possibility is to use ThunderBird. It is more friendly than Windows Mail. It is important to point out that in order for these applications to work properly they require scripts. I don't know if the screen reader that you use has scripting built into it.

Anna, I have Windows Explained and it is a very useful book but re Live Mail I find that when I try to access either the e-mail itself or the attachment my cursor only appears to read the first line. I am sure it is something I am doing wrong and will continue to look for a solution. I don't know if I need to change a windows setting, if a pop-up menu is coming up blocking my speech access, etc. Gordon, I am using the "Thunder" screenreader from screenreader.net. To you all, thanks for your interest.

However, on the following website, there are a number of tutorials which you may find useful. These are written predominantly for JAWS screen reader users but the overall information is of use to non-JAWS users also. http://vip.chowo.co.uk/jaws-guides/ Regards Gordon Atkinson ----- Original Message ----- From: "McKerral, David" <David.McKerral@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <infotech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 9:25 AM Subject: [infotech] Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail hello friends I wonder if you can help me? I have recently been given as a present Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail but as you can imagine as I used to work with Windows XP and Outlook Express I now find myself on a steep learning curve. In addition, I now have Microsof Office 10. Does anyone know where I can get either written or speech tutorials on any of the above topics? any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
