Version 1.1 adds support for the Microsoft Word editing control, and 
thus,
Outlook 2007.  Revised documentation is below.

Jamal

When focus is on a list of mail messages, press Enter to open one and
automatically start a Read to End.  The script says "reading" to 
indicate
this behavior has been invoked.  It depends on the following conditions:
(1) the prior control type is a ListBox or ListView;  (2) the next 
control
is either browse mode, a multiline, read-only RichEdit, or a Microsoft
Word edit control (the _WwG class, used by Outlook).

This behavior also works in contexts besides reading mail, though that 
is
the primary motivation for the sscript. If you have heard enough of a 
mail
message, remember to press a key to stop the Read-to-End process, e.g.,
the Control key, before pressing another key, e.g., Escape to return to
the list of messages.

The script tries to temporarily suppress speech from verbosity settings
when a message window opens.  Due to timing issues,  this only works
sometimes.  The intent is for email header information,  such as the
subject and sender, to be read from the list, and the body to be read if
the message is opened.
