Hi Marlaina: If there's an attachment, it shows up in the headers. You should be able to find it using VO and arrows.

Carolyn, You said that slideshow is the attachment. Can you tell me how the heck I find it? I think I did this once and it worked, but now I can't get it to work. Many thanks.

So, if you scroll down, I'll do my best to address what I can.

Is there a key sequence I can use to add let's say one address from an email to my addressbook? For example, if I want to add macvisionaries, but not the sender from whom the message appears, how do I do that? My husband took the mouse and put it on the to field, which was macvisionar...@gmail.com and then he clicked the triangle to the right which brought up a menu o choices which included copy address and add to addressbook. How do I do that using vo? Apple mail has something called "data detector," which gives you the option to interact with such info. If you arrow over to the address you want tot add, then press vo-shift-m, you should bring up a contextual menu to do that. Also you can try cmd-shift-y. > > 3. I'm reading a message and decide to keep it, but I don't want to move it; I want to leave it in my inbox for now. How do I close it and be returned to my inbox list of messages? Right now I do cmd-w then cmd-1 to reopen the inbox; I have to believe there is a better way! If you are using enter to gt into the message, and press cmd shift w, you should automatically be winding up in the Inbox on your closed message, unless you're hiding your preview pane. I always use cmd w and don't have to do anything else. > > 4. I've read the message and from within it, I press backspace to delete it. This takes me back to my list of messages in the inbox, but I hear all this verbiage about inbox table one row selected before I hear from whom the next message was sent or its subject. Can I make that stop? I can't give you the specifics for this. But check in VO utilities under verbosity. > > 5. I am desperate for help in fining attachments; vo tells me there is one, but I can't seem to find it. I've done all sorts of itterations of turning long headers on, interacting with toolbar, interacting with message text, and the list goes on! It just escapes me! The attachment appears as "slide show." If you click or do vo-space on that, you can find your attachments. > > 6. I know what the attachment is and decide to save it. I go to file and save attachment and when the filename dialogue box comes up, it doesn't read the name of the file. Is there a way to hear that? > I'll leave someone else to do a better job than I could on this. Hope I've been a little help, phough. Take care. > Ok, those are my questions and I know they are many and basic.
