Steve,

I am sorry that you thought there was an implication that you had lied. That isn't it at all; the point is that you seem to have some combination that is causing the Insert Shift r keystroke to work with JAWS 9, whereas the rest of us don't. Now, we need to isolate it; perhaps Vista is a factor here, so maybe someone else can test that for us.

Several months ago, many of us noticed that JAWS 8 would stop reporting the Copy and Cut commands after a while, but we couldn't find the thing that suddenly stopped this function from working until JAWS was unloaded and reloaded. Then, one list member, namely Andy B, found that the function worked fine until he launched Windows Media Player 11; that was the magic combination, which we immediately reported to FS. Of vourse, they didn't fix it in JAWS 9, but at least we know what stops the function and maybe some day they will have it repaired.

   Hope this helps,

   Don

Don,

The keystroke is JAWS key+shift+r and I have no reason to lie to you and I resent the implication. The whole thing maybe that I'm using Vista and not XP but don't really know. I just wanted to prove that it's not broke for everyone.

Hi Steve,

Well, that's interesting. Yes, I did receive your message that was sent directly to me. So, if you did this using JAWS 9 and the Shift Control r key combination and if you did not already have me in your address book, then you are probably the only one who can do this. Even the guys at FS have found this function to be working improperly in JAWS 9.

Don,

I used jaws key +shift+r to send a message directly to you and it appeared to work. Let me know if you get my message.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

If you do a little experimenting with this, I think you will find that Shift Control r works in JAWS 9 ONLY IF you are replying to a list member who is already in your address book and it does not work if you are replying to a list member who is not already in your address book; it will put the person's name in the To: field, but then you will get a message telling you that the person is not in your address book.

Yup, looks like the reply directly to sender scripts are broken.
The script used to copy sender's return address into the clipboard then paste it into the return address but it definitely has been broken. Jaws continues to be like the old game of "May I?" where you take 2 steps forward and 3 backward. You're never out of the quicksand with FS. Pay me $150 and I'll pull you out by your right hand---sorry about that; I meant the left---Another $150 please and we'll try again to get it right. What's wrong with this picture? As long as you keep shelling out that $150, maybe I'll keep on letting you slip from my grasp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy Handel" <cindy425@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The feature of insert shift r to reply directly to a sender doesn't seem to work in JAWS 9. It says "replying to sender" when I press it, but only the sender's name shows up and OE doesn't recognize it as an email address. Has
this changed?
