I would agree with you Husna but none of the other screenreaders seem to do a
great job with windows live mail either which makes me wonder if it's just a
poorly written program?
I know this is really a jaws list but if other screenreaders do better than it
would be interesting to know about this as it does not seem clear to me which
email program you should use with windows 7.
Windows 8 is upon us yet JAWS training materials related to windows 7 seem
patchy at best.
Outlook 2003 is actually still my preferred choice. Outlook 2007 works ok also
but html documents are not read well without viewing them in internet explorer.
Shiftn jaws key and w works reliably to make this task easier but this slows
you down somewhat.
Of course, outlook is not free!

Subject: [jaws-uk] jaws and wlm
well finally called s&s about my problem with wlm failing to read out the
subject and dates when selecting multiple email messages, which i wrote to the
lists about but failed to resolve. the person said jaws was just reading one
column and that this was a but that was happening at his end as well. it is
shocking that FS released jaws lacking such a basic feature! who is the best
person to write to at FS to get features implemented in a patch as i have
noticed lots of annoying things with jaws and wlm etc, such as jaws not reading
out matching contacts as you start typing, which means you have to always tab
backwards and forwards to see if a matching contact came up as well as having
to manually label basic graphic such a collapse and attachment. we should not
have to put up with these kind of annoyances and lack of basic features in a
product costing more than £600. also wlm has been out for years and FS shout
have had time to implement basic features and but fixes by now.
i really liked outlook express, it didn’t have any of these frustrating
problems, i wish they hadn’t got rid of it, is there no way of using oe in
windows 7?
