I think the known problem is as basic as there is no msaa in thunderbird so any success is co-incidental.

It's version 1.5.0.2 I sent an e-mail OK just now, but couldn't reply to yours without a Jaws re-start. I'll keep playing, there's a few possibilities, but I wondered if any known problems were known either in Jaws 7.0135 or TBird.
