Hi! Another option is when you’ve got to the end of a conversation in the html area! Turn off cursor tracking with [VO+Shift+f3] then all you need to do is just start typing your reply and press enter/return, then just arrow through the message you’ve just sent and wait for the reply arrow through that and if needed just start typing to respond to that message! When finished remember to turn cursor tracking back on with the same command as before! This way you always stay in that conversation I’ve not done this in a while but if I remember right you will not hear the response from the other party come in so hitting the right arrow a little while after you’ve sent yours should let you know if a reply has arrived!
