Other than the first occasion when I run the PC curser over an new e-mail, Jaws does not tell me that its still unread. It says nothing about the status which makes me think I have read it. I no this can be fixed by changing a setting somewhere but I just can't locate it. If anyone could help I'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance. Steve No virus found in this incoming message.
