Hi, it appears that the message I've just sent privately went. I had no such error message or anything. This was using JAWS 9.0.552 under Vista Home Premium, and I'm using Windows Mail as my e-mail client. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

he means the feature that is a Jaws special function, called Reply Directlyto Sender. This is not the same as the email client's command Reply. It's not related to other things either, like in Outlook express. People keep confusing this Jaws service with that other stuff.This is a convenience for someone who wants to reply privately to someone'spost on a mailing list, so that the reply To header is addressed to the person who posted the message, and not back to the list. It used to be a keystroke like what he says, below, but in Jaws 9 the default keystroke is Insert shift r. Anyway, I'm having the same trouble myself. It'll put the sender's name into the To header field, but when Ipress Alt S (Outlook Express) to send, I'm told that the recipient isn't in my Address Book. Well, that's not supposed to matter. It's a dysfunction ofthis feature, and FS apparently hasn't fixed it. For some reason, there was a brief period, I think while I was still using Jaws 8, when the feature worked as it was supposed to. But now it doesn't work for me anymore. Which I'm sorry about, because it was handy. Now, on most lists, if I want to respond privately off list to someone about their post, I have to go back to the old ploy of starting a regular Control R reply, then arrowing down to the header inside the message with their name and email address, select and copy the email address, shift tab back up tothe To header field, select the list address that's there, then paste in thesender's address to replace it. Snore. Wish this dealie would work as it's supposed to.----- Original Message ----- From: "George B" <gbmagoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2008 9:21 AM Subject: RE: Reply To Sender Trouble If you just wish to reply to a message just do a control r-----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Mitchell Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2008 09:04 To: jfw list Subject: Reply To Sender Trouble Happy Mother's Day. With the current JAWS 9, the Control-Insert-R keystroke indeed gives me an edit field in a message for the intended recipient but when I attempt to send the message I get a dialogue about 'check names' or new contact. If I just want to send the message without adding to my address book, is there a way to send the message on its way? Thanks, Mitch "I hate housework!
