Hello, Here's something I did that stopped the erratic reading in Mail. I unchecked Smooth Scrolling under system preferences under appearance. I did this yesterday morning and while I still have the problem with the message not automatically being read, it did stop the uneven reading of the text. But for treading the text I just press VO a and the message is read just fine. HTH. Dan On Aug 30, 2009, at 11:15 AM, Scott Howell wrote:
