I realize that this is a late post but the procedure when using Windowsmail in Windows 7 is that it should be installed after the service packs are installed and then there is no problem. Chuck

I do understand your frustrations with WLM, FS could really rectify this problem by labeling the graphics, And, providing some scripts which would alleviate the problem folks are having with the client. Although the research it feature may be a good tool for some, I really think we need to start shouting a little louder so FS may get the message. Regarding windows mail, Yes it does sound sort of daunting for those who really don't want to be messing with the registry tweak, however, it really isn't that difficult, if you follow, the steps. Yes, the windows mail has the OE feel, and, it's very simple to use, However, as I indicated, some folks after performing the registry tweak, had problems downloading and installing the windows 7 service pack 1. I'm not entirely sure what the issue was, all I do know is, it was talked about on other lists. Unfortunately, because I provide adaptive training here in Canada, I try to learn the most used email clients, outlook, WLM, I do run a yahoo list, Which pertains to screen readers and email clients, If anyone wishes to join you can send a email to:

I hope I've ansered some of your concerns.

Thanks very much, David.
This seems cumbersome, but is certainly better than nothing.
I am not sure I' m liking Windows Live Mail very much, for this and a few other reasons.
I know some folks on the list are suggesting that we go to something called Windows Mail for an e-mail interface that is more like the earlier Outlook Express in Windows XP, but I am not sure how accurate this is, how difficult it would be to do, and when I'd get the time to do it. However, it might be worth considering.
If you have any thoughts on this, I'd certainly welcom them.
Thanks for your help with this current issue. Once again, I really appreciate your being out there.

Hello Tom;
If you're using the 2011 version of windows live mail, then the graphics which indicate unread, attachment, etc are not labeled by default.
However, you can label these manually
:1. Open windows live mail.
2. Normally, Jaws is set not to read any unlabeled graphics. To temporarily change this behavior/setting so that it reads them, so that you can find them and label them: press insert+v to open the adjust jaws options dialog;or, in jaws13 it's now refered to as, quick settings. press the letter "G" until you hear jaws announce Graphics - labeled; press spacebar to cycle to the next option for this setting which is graphics - all, and then press enter to activate the default close button.
3. When jaws reads a message in the message list, it now reads each unlabeled graphic as graphic followed by a number, and these all occur before the senders name. What you will need to determine is, what is the number graphic corresponding with, unread, attachments.
4. To label a graphic, move to a unread message in the list which is unread, that is jaws says graphic and the graphic number when reading it; press insert + numpad minus to route the jaws cursor to the pc cursor - this places the jaws cursor at the beginning of the senders name; press left arrow till you get to graphicXXX press insert + g to open the graphics labeler dialog; the initial focus is a label edit box, with the text graphic xxx selected; type
unread, and then press enter to activate the default ok button.
5. Repeat step 4 to label any other unlabeled graphics that you want to label. 6. If you close and reopen windows live mail, the jaws setting for reading graphics will have returned to just reading labeled graphics.

Hi, all.
On this new laptop with Windows 7, I am currently trying to use Windows Live Mail.
As some of you may know, this is a real switch from the much more blind-friendly Outlook Express e-mail program I used to use wwith my old Windows XP laptop.
Anyway, I am finding that when I access my g-mail through Windows Live Mail, there is no way to tell which messages are unread. My sighted wife tells me that the unread messages are marked in bold, but Jaws is not reading this for me.
Is there any good way to note unread messages in Windows Live Mail and Windows7?
I am using Jaws 11 here. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
