An excellent lesson Flor. I will keep this for my records! However, one situation where it falls down is where topic/subject name is not adhered to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florlync@xxxxxx>

Hi Joe,

This is because you have checkmarked View By Conversations. To uncollapse - expand - a conversation, when JAWS or whatever says 'collapsed' press the right-arrow key to open it. you will then see all messages pertaining to that conversation or that branch thereof. Again, whenever you hear/see collapsed, press the right-arrow key to expand.

If you want to uncheck View By Conversation, from the message list press alt+ v, then right-arrow into Current Views submenu. Press up-arrow once, and then press enter to uncheck it.

However, viewing messages by conversation can be a quite handy way to have messages organised by topic, thread, etc., so that you can hjump to the last message of a conversation and then read it and hopefully many of the previous messages within that conversation also. This is the usual way i have things set up.

Now if you should still want messages organised by conversation, but don't want threads collapsed, do the following:
-- From the message list, go into tools | Options - ctrl+shift+o;
-- Press shift+tab, and then press ctrl+tab to the Read tab control;
-- Now press the tab key a few times. You come to a checkbox, "automatically expand grouped messages", and this is, by default, checked. press spacebar to change its state.

have a look at the other options there.  tab to OK and enter.

Merry Christmas.
