Francis, You can also tab and shift tab back and forth among an email's headers, which some people prefer to do instead of pressing different key commands for each field in an email's headers and message area. But one more thing. Although it's possible to type enough text into at least some of the email headers so that they take up more than one line, usually a header field contains just one line. Obvious exceptions would be where you've typed so many addressees into the To field, the CC field or the BCC field that the typing has to wrap and go on to additional lines. But most of the time, you aren't likely to be using the up and down arrow keys to read a header field in the first place, including the subject line. Hope this is all becoming a little more clear? hgas they or the wypted exce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Milica Trpevska" <milica.trpevska@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 11:07 AM Subject: RE: reading lines of text with thhe up and down arrow keys Hi Francis That is because jaws can't read the whole subject line when foccussed on a message.
