Sounds like a bug that needs to get reported. Manually, you can do it this way. 1. Go to Start Menu, Programs, JAWS 9.0, Explore JAWS, Explore My Settings. 2. Hit Enter on Personalized Settings. 3. Arrow to Windows Mail.jsi and hit Enter. If prompted to tell Windows what application to use to open this file, check the "Select from list" checkbox and select Notepad from the list. 4. Once the file is opened in Notepad, change the "1" in the line MessageHeaderVerbosity=1 to "0" and save the file. That will force it off by default.

Using Windows Mail in Vista, I really like to invoke the setting under the verbosity menu as follows: Header Fields With Message Announcement - Off This preference will not stick. I keep having to reset this option every time that Windows Mail is started. I do not see any where in the configuration manager where this preference can be set permanently. Anything I am missing? Thanks.
