afternoon or evening to all. i am using jaws 6.20 and windows xp home and windows messenger. I am having a strange issue. on the main window of windows messenger i can tell when a person is set to away. but here's the funny part. when i go in to that person's conversation window to type jaws will not say, so and so may not reply because his or her status is set to away. can you tell me of a fix?
