or .zip (manual install currently necessary on 64-bit Windows)

Recent changes:

Incorporated code by Greg Epley that improves reliability and speech 
with the Control+M and Control+U commands (MarkMessageAsJunk and 
UnmarkMessageAsJunk).  Fixed Control+Enter saying "Send" when pressed in 
a context besides sending a message.  Improved speech with the Control+R 
and Control+Shift+R commands (the window title and current line are 
spoken when replying or replying to all).  Added several hotkeys as follows.
Press Alt+Delete as a shortcut to delete the current line when editing 
text.  Use the Refresh Forms Mode command, Shift+Escape, if JAWS is not 
reading text accurately when composing a message.  Note that sometimes a 
side effect of this fix is that JAWS mistakenly thinks the first line of 
the message is repeated on the line before a quoted reply.

Adjust some common speech parameters with key combinations involving the 
grave accent key (at the top left of the main part of a U.S. keyboard). 
  Press JAWSKey+Grave to toggle between reading all or no punctuation. 
All punctuation is useful when reading carefully for details, whereas no 
punctuation is useful when reading quickly for concepts.  Control+` 
increases the speech rate by five percent, and Control+Shift+` decreases 
it.  Alt+` increases the volume by five percent, and Alt+Shift+` 
decreases it.
