Re: [orca-list] [POSSIBLE SPAM] sometimes orca announce the wrong subjectin thunderbird

Hi
No, it's definitely Orca reporting the title wrong. If I close the  
message and open it again, the title speaks perfectly. Also, while in  
the message table, sometimes arrowing quickly back and fourth over the  
affected message will allow it to speak the correct title for a little  
while, before it starts speaking the wrong one again.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
