First, on the MBP, you also have to hold down the function key. I am unable to perform that keystroke. Second, assuming that you *can perform that keystroke, in order for that to work, you have to interact with the messages table, otherwise those keystrokes take you out of the message list. I prefer not to interact with the message list, as I like to hear all the headers spoken, not just the one I'm sitting on. Best, Donna
