If you turn cursor tracking off with vo plus shift plus f3, you will be able to read your contacts' mood messages. As far as turning off the messages of when people sign in, you need to go to preferences with command comma, and find the notifications button. You need to interact with the toolbar with vo shif down arow to ifnd the notifications button. Once you find it, find the events popup button. vo to the right unti lyou hear it say speak text. Uncheck that box for the events you don't want spoken.

From: Michael Busboom [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, 06 May, 2009 15:41 Subject: Voice Over and some Skype-Related Questions Hi listers,I was wondering if there was a way to get Voice Over to tell me the status of Skype contacts. I never know if there status is set to “Do not disturb,” “Away,” etc.On a similar topic, Voice Over sometimes reads a contact’s mood message; sometimes it doesn’t. I have never figured out why this is the case. I’d like to hear the mood messages all the time, if possible.Lastly, Skype tells me whenever people on my contact list log onto Skype and this is great. However, I’d like to be able to turn off these status messages at will, since when I am talking with other people on Skype, these status messages can be disturbing. I seem to recall enabling this feature at one time, but I can’t remember how I did it.My best to all, Mike
