Cindy, it sounds like you're in collapsed mode. To get into expanded mode, go to your message list, go to that first message, and hit right arrow. Left arrow collapses the list, right arrow expands it. For this to work, you need to have "group messages by conversation" checked. I know this is a week late, but I hope it helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy Handel" <cindy425@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 12:45 PM Subject: JAWS and Expanded/Collapsed messages I've been having a problem for some time, with JAWS 8 not reading the right message at the list of those which are grouped by conversation. It appears that JAWS is looking at the next message down the list. When I'm at the top of a list, it tells me that it's 2 of 100, for example. Why isn't it counting the first message? Can anything be done about this. I don't believe I had this problem with JAWS 7, but haven't used 7 in awhile, so don't remember.
