Re: [orca-list] Orca isn't reading thunderbird messages well. HOw do I fix this?

I can't answer your question since I use the preview pane, but if 
security is the only reason you don't use the preview pane in 
Thunderbird under Linux then you might want to rething that. I suspect 
you'll find that there has been very few if any malware distributed 
through the preview pane in Thunderbird under Linux. If you find this 
has been the case then please share on list and maybe I'll rethink what 
I'm doing.
