Hello, Hmm, perhaps I could put my ddwalla out there if anybody wants to contribute.
I modified the speak sender and subject message script to use the VoiceOver speech instead of the default TTS. I also discovered how to turn off and on the message preview pane while using AppleScript. I'll post updates soon. Currently the speak subject and author scripts speak every selected messages information in the frontmost window. Is this how you would expect it to work? In other words, if a thread is selected it will read the information for each item in the thread. I could just pick out the first selected message.

I'd happily pay for solutions that gave this kind of functionality. It sounds like clever people could make helpful things that people like me could never do. This isn't having a go at anyone but just an observation on a difference I find between mac and apple camps. The number of free and payed scripts for jfw is huge and usually quite easy to find but so often mac solutions and info is fragmented and or so highly technical and or obscure that less advanced users can't understand or implement them.

Create a "Activity" group for mail. 2. Create AppleScript command to either move VO cursor or speak specific information. 3. Use keyboard commander to link scripts to keys. To start open up mail then go back to the finder and look for the following AppleScript file: Under the Hard disk Library Scripts Mail "Speak Sender and Subject.scpt" If you open this file then it will probably open in AppleScript Editor. Type "command-R' to run the script. If it does what you need then you can link it to a keyboard commander. If you want separate scripts for subject, To, Cc, attachments then the script would be edited and added to your home Library directory.

And, no, I don't think hot spots or landmarks stick in other than HTML windows. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
