to follow up with my previous post, if it might help anyone else...
I just was experimenting, and found that this issue of JAWS not reading the
text of an email message with Windows Live Mail, could be addressed by just
pressing my JAWS CURSOR and then the PC CURSOR keys. I did it several times
when it occurred and it seemed to restore my JAWS reading the email text.
Maybe someone can figure from that, what is going on. But for me, I'm just
glad to find that I can get to reading the message!

I have this problem, too, using JAWS 11, and 10 on another machine I use.
I am speaking of using it with Windows Live Mail.
The issue is inconsistently exhibited. As are many things. Even just
reading a message. Sometimes my best way to read text is to just do CTRL-A and
select all and let JAWS read that, which is what I have been doing lately when
JAWS goes into this behaviour. I thought for awhile it may be the difference
between plain text and rich text emails. But no, it really does this sometimes
with either type.
As to what Nikki described, here is how it works for me. Does this sound
similar?
When I delete a message in the list view. What is spoken is the message that
was just deleted, rather than the next message. The only way I have learned to
get back the proper spoken focused item is to alt tab and back to the program.
It does cause quite a potential for deleting the wrong message. This is an
example using my Windows Live Mail version 2009 14.xxx.

OK, are any of the rest of you having this problem? I use Outlook Express for
e-mail and JAWS has always worked just fine. Now however, I find that JAWS is
mis-reading many of the subject lines as I go down through my list in the
inbox. I have inadvertently deleted e-mails which I needed because JAWS told me
they were something else. I must say, I am getting pretty fed up with JAWS with
all these little quirks adding up. I need a screen reader to make my life
easier not more stressful.
Sorry for the vent.
Nikki
