Hi, Barbara.

Apparently, yes.  Yardbird's directions assume you're outside the message, not 
within.

  I'm using Outlook and can move a message while within the message or from the 
message  list. Is it really different in OE?

    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
