Hi, I just upgraded to jaws 11. I am not sure if this impacts what scripts
are loaded but I find that the "owner application" changes as you switch from
the list of emails to the folder list or vice versa. This may be a cause for
losing your custom view if the "owner application" is part of the criteria jaws
uses to determine what scripts to load.
Not sure but thought the observation might help.
Regards
Tom Bisset

Subject: JFW 11/12 and Outlook 2003 custom messages
I've gotten used to seeing messages laid out a certain way when I scroll
through them in Outlook. You can blame the fact I've used outlook in an office
environment where it's almost required I get through messages quickly for that.
After JAWS 10, by default, JAWS doesn't actually display messages in that way.
JAWS 11 introduced customiseable outlook message lists, which are supposed to
produce feedback similar to what you might be used to if configured correctly.
I've set mine up that way in both JAWS 11 and 12, and for the most part, they
work virtually identically to the older behaviour of JAWS 10 and earlier.
Unless I have to change folders. If I change folders, or switch views in a
current folder, JAWS returns to the default, unwanted behaviour of reading
messages. Which... is grand, except for the fact that well, that's not what I
told it to do. If I alt tab out of the Outlook window, and then back in, it
reads the way I told it to. At least until such time as I have to switch
folders again. I'm running JAWS 11 and 12, both latest builds of each. Does
anyone else using custom Outlook message lists have this issue? Did they find a
fix for it? If so, there's a coffee or something in it for you if you share. Or
at least a heartfelt thanks.
