Re: [orca-list] Orca 3.2 [Ubuntu 11.10] fails to read messages marked as "read"

Hello, Andy.
As far as the shortcut keys go, in Thunderbird CTRL+SHIFT+L will reply only to the mailing list. I just checked it, and CTRL+SHIFT+R will perform a "Reply To All". I get it mixed up sometimes. :) 

Hope all is well.

I will look at the version in a short while. I have no idea why my email to
the list goes to each person instead of the list. It appears that I have to
press control+shift+r in Outlook in order to get replies to the list. They
get sent to the person in private as well, but I don't know how to fix this.
A gmail thing maybe?

I'm not sure what version of Thunderbird comes with Ubuntu 11.10 any more.
I'm running Thunderbird 8.0 on Ubuntu 11.10, but I may have updated it since
I installed Ubuntu 11.10. I'd suggest going into Help
->  About to see what version you're running. It's probably not that
important, since I'm sure this problem would exist in a whole range of
Thunderbirds, but it may help other on the list diagnose the problem or
determine when it was introduced.

I'm not sure why you say reading a message in the preview pane is annoying.
This is how I read email messages. The F6 key works for me. I use it to jump
between my list of folders, the list of messages in that folder and the body
of the message in the preview pane. I like using the
F6 key since it takes me right to the beginning of the message body. I don't
remember how reading a message in it's own window works any more.

I'm sure it takes just as long as reading a message in a separate window,
but I wouldn't say it takes longer, and I wouldn't say it's annoying. I'm
not sure why I ended up using the preview pane instead of reading each
message in it's own window. In Windows with NVDA I would read each message
in it's own window, but I must have had some reason for switching to just
using the preview pane in Ubuntu and Orca. I'm not saying there's anything
wrong with using a separate window, it's just that I don't seem to be having
the problems or the annoyances you're having with the preview pane.

I wonder if the problem you're seeing with not being able to read messages
marked as read is related to reading each message in it's own window. I
wouldn't think so, since I think you'd see this problem whether a message
was marked as read or not. If I get time later to change up my Thunderbird
settings, maybe I'll see if I have the same problem  or not.

Also, I'm not sure why you sent this message just to me. I copied the Orca
list on my reply since I think the information you provided on what version
of Thunderbird you're running might be useful in tracking down this problem.

It is the thunderbird that comes with Ubuntu and I read it in a new
window because reading it in the preview pane or in a new tab is
annoying and takes just as long to get to the important parts as it
does reading/replying from a new window (unless there are shortcuts
for the message pane). F6 doesn't seem to work.

What email client are you running? Is it Thunderbird? What version are
you running? How are you reading your email?

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 with Orca 3.2.1 and Thunderbird 8.0. I read
my email using the preview pane. I'm not having any problems reading
messages marked as read.

Does anyone have the experience of orca in Ubuntu 11.10 not reading
email marked as "read"? For some strange reason, I do, and cannot get
around it. Looks like I will have to keep all email marked as unread
until the problem is fixed? This is with a gmail account using imap.
