Well, then, you may just be the guy I need to talk to here.

Would you mind if I write you off list regarding some of my most anoying 
problems with Jaws and Thunderbird?

I am using Jaws 11.0 and Windows XP Pro.

I'm not trying to be a complainer here;  it's just that I really am having 
serious issues with Jaws and Thunderbird, and they have actually gotten 
worse with Jaws 11.

Further, the FS folks really haven't been very helpful.

Another person on this list named Sue B, is also trying to help, but so far, 
we have not made great progress.

So, if you have the time and interest, I'd love to tap into your wisdom. 
It'd probably be best to do it off list.

Thanks!

Tom Behler in Colorado
