John, that's approximately the same as what I'm saying. It just started a little while ago. And of course it doesn't kill anyone, but I do get tired of opening a JFW list message to hear "message" first thing. It's just kind of stupid. I am starting to think it may have something to do with something the listserv does with the mail in the process of distributing it. But how would I know? All I know is that nothing changed in my email client, nor my version of Jaws, and that I don't encounter this silly thing on any other mailing list or in any other examples of my email correspondence. What can you do. I can live with it. But I can't help being curious and wish someone with the appropriate tech expertise would explain it, instead of us all going around like the five blind men feeling the elephant. That routine gets really funny sometimes, when all of us are speculating as hard as we can, based on each of our levels of tech knowledge about the subject at hand. If there are any programmers or others on the list with that level of savvy about such things, no one has spoken up. Yet, at least. . Oh, well. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ramsey To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 9:13 AM Subject: RE: The ever continuing message message Hello Yardbird, I have been using JFW since 4.0 (if memory serves me) and I have been using Outlook 2002 since it came out and have never heard anything like these tags until just a few days ago. It is not really any big deal, but is somewhat annoying.

I just began hearing these message words a few weeks ago on a lot of peoples' messages here, although not on any other mailing list to which I'm subscribed. For what that might be worth. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ramsey To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 4:36 AM Subject: The ever continuing message message Hello, At the risk of giving the dead horse one more kick, and out of curiosity, I did not start hearing this message tag in the few members messages that it appears in until I installed JFW version 8 and that it is why it caught my attention so quickly. I am wondering if there is a feature in version 8 that enabled it on my end. Now that I think about it, Yardbird was using JFW 7 last I knew, so I guess it might be something going in OE.
