[nabs-l] windows live mail

What I mean is jaws does not tell you everything it should.
Jaws should say what messages are unread as it did in outlook express.
In a list, normally you can type the letter of the option you want. That is 
standard in jaws.
But I found I have to arrow to everything in the tree list view.  Also a few 
buttons in the ribbon are not labeled. Unless you used windows live mail you 
don't know how accessible/user friendly it is.

Please forgive me, but how does hitting the down arrow several times mean 
that something is not accessible? It seems to me that if it was not 
accessible then you would not be able to use the program at all. Simply 
because the program does not appear to have all of the features you want 
does not necessarily mean that a blind person cannot use it. Just my two 
cents on the matter.
