Hello All:

I was asked a question by someone running JAWS 11 on a Windows 7 machine.  When 
he views messages in Windows Live Mail, JAWS will say 'Unread' when he arrows 
to unread messages.  I went into Tools and options, and unchecked the box that 
says 'Mark as read after displaying for'.  I maximized my screen.  I checked to 
make sure the 'Flag' column is being displayed when viewing the inbox, it is.  
Still, JAWS won't say 'Unread'.  Any ideas?  My client could always use ctrl-U 
to move to the next unread message, but if there's a way to get JAWS to say 
'Unread' when you are arrowing through messages I would like to know about it.

Thanks,
