Yes, that works best for reading, but I'm able to navigate and even highlight just fine. The only problem I've ever come across is that, if I move around with the commands and then decide to read from where I am with vo-a, vo reads from the top of the message instead of where my cursor is. Interacting fixes this, but I have no other problems. On Oct 25, 2012, at 9:39 PM, Steve Holmes <steve.holme...@gmail.com> wrote:
