Please don't take this badly, but as I know you're a very experienced computer
user, it never even occurred to me that you might be trying to perform an
operation like this from within an open message. consider, for instance, that
you can't copy or move a file in Windows Explorer while you have the file
open-- sure, you can rename it, thus creating a replica of it under a different
name, but you can't literally just move or copy the file. Same goes for other
environments. So I never guessed you might be inside a message and trying to
do that.
Oh, well. Live and learn. It just occurred to me how you could have thought
you could do this: I notice there are a lot of people who like to open
messages in their Inbox, read them, and then go on to the next message in the
list view from there directly by either deleting the open message or using a
keyboard command of some sort. I never do this sort of thing. I open a
message, and before I do anything else (apart from cycling around to another
open application to do something different, I mean, without closing the email
message) I hit escape to close it. So It never occurs to me that you can
perform many operations on an email message from *within* the open message.
Okay. Glad if it's all okay now.

Ah, but you need to be in the message list, not within the message. That's how
I got it to work.

No Adrian,
It's a standard Move keyboard command for Outlook Express and in other
contexts, too, like Audible Manager. Just Control Shift V. A move files
dialogue should come up. It's really, really standard. I'm just using Wind XP
Home, OE 6, and Jaws 7. But unless there's an "issue," as they say, with Jaws
8 in this regard (if you're even *in* Jaws 8 when this fails to work), then
something's the matter. Just as control shift b opens the Address Book,
Control shift V puts up the Move dialogue so you can designate the target
folder.
Sorry if it isn't working. Something sounds wrong to me.

That command doesn't do anything on my system. You did mean, control-shift-v
c, right?

Adrian,
Just an idea, but how about trying the standard hotkey command for moving
an OE message into another folder: control Shift V See if this might sidestep
the problem.

I am. It also happens when I skip through messages with alt-right arrow.
Having identified it, however, it doesn't annoy me. What does trouble me is
that JAWS 8 is slow to react when I try to save a message into another
folder. In fact, it sometimes does something else, such as try to forward
the message or take me into help. I'm referring to the procedure where I
press alt-f, then m for move. Now that's annoying.

I found initially JAWS 8 was fine but when I use it on outlook express and
I
am reading a message I notice upon hitting the delete key I hear the word
deleted followed by the first word of the text of the new message then the
new message is read from beginning to end, however every single time I hit
the delete key I hear the first word of the next message prior to having
the
message read. Anyone else experiencing this? Dana
