Hi All,

I use Thunderbird to read email on my Windows 7 netbook. While I'm still 
figuring bits and pieces out, I generally like the application and find 
it fairly accessible with Jaws 12.

One problem I'm having is identifying and finding unread messages. When 
I scroll through the table of messages, Jaws doesn't announce which ones 
are read or unread. Since I have a vague memory that the screen reader 
used to announce this information, I initially thought Jaws was not 
doing its job. Now I'm thinking the problem is Thunderbird itself 
because, when I hit the letter N to jump to the next unread message, 
focus tends to skip messages I know I haven't read. What seems to be 
happening is that unread messages mysteriously become read messages when 
I exit the app, but I'm only guessing because this doesn't happen all 
the time.

Does anyone have any ideas about what may be going on or suggestions 
about how to keep my unread messages unread? I've been poking through 
the settings, and nothing jumps out at me as needing to be changed.

Ciao
