Hi Hermann,

I have downloaded Thunderbird 3.0A2Pre.

Definitley an improvement over Tb 2 in terms of it not crashing.

Do you have to do any particular command or choose a particular option to 
get the message list working?  When I tab to it I hear a message about 
column headers and Orca is silent when I arrow up and down through the 
messages.  "Where am I?" will tell me the row number I'm on but strangely if 
I do a "say current line" it always reads the menu bar.

When reading a message I find that blank lines are not read out unless there 
are two blank lines together (i.e 3 newline symbols in a row), is this what 
you get?

Could you tell me how to switch to gecko navigation?

Btw I'm using Hardy with trunk atk, gail and at-spi and latest Orca from the 
2.22 branch.

Paul
