this is why many go back to the former version. but... if it works anything like things have in the past, there is a graphic in with the name of the Email that must be Identified as the "unread" marker and probably the same with the attachment information. I know in the past some folks were able to find it by using the invisible cursor (jaws key hit twice quickly) and setting graphics reading to "all" and then comparing what they saw on a known unread compared to a known read, and I would guess you could do the same for Emails with and without attachments.

The subject says it all. Where do I must go or what I must do for windows life mail 2011 to tell jaws if the message is unread or if it has attachments? I had this on the previous version. Yadiel J.
