First, learning to use Thunderbird to some extent may be the one good 
thing that came out of last month-s crash of the Windows machine that my 
wife and I share.  Of the problems I still have with Thunderbird, I 
think these are the ones most likely to be related to Orca in some way.

Here's the first problem.  I have my keystrokes echoed.  When I'm 
writing in the body of a message, every keystroke is spoken twice.  I do 
not find this when I'm typing, say, a subject or an address to send to.  
Does anybody else notice this?

The second problem is far more troublesome.  When I'm reading a message 
using the arrow keys (at least, the up and down arrow keys) and come to 
a link, I am stuck at or near that link.  If I've been reading using the 
number pad plus key, I'll go past the link fine.  If I use a find 
command to skip over it, tht also works.  But there are many times when 
I need to read using the arrow keys.  Has anybody else noticed this one?

Thanks for any suggestions, or even corroboration.
