Re: [orca-list] Reading messages in evolution

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I think you will find there are many slightly annoying bugs with
evolution, and in some ways this you describe is hardly anything. I
think what you describe is just the way it should be done, except you
will find if there is an attachment to the message then you don't need
to cursor right.

How much of this might be solveable with scripts? Would it for example
be possible to get the message body to get focus upon a key press? Would
that help you Garrett?

Thunderbird looks like it might have promise, but at the moment it is
still very much in development. Also Orca could do with some better
scripting (possibly) for thunderbird as well.
