[nabs-l] email, highlighting, and languages

[Glenn III]

I would think the reason you get the "misspelled" announcement is that in
firefox you have a setting to check and denote or mark misspelled words
(which is not set up in IE). So, rather than tweeking JAWS or anything,
likely, it can be fixed just by settings in Firefox:
Tools menu...Options menu item...Advanced Tab...General Tab..."Check my
spelling as i type" checkbox.
