[stylist] Outlook question from volunteer NFB PR person

Hi Friends,

I'm putting this out there, because I'm trying to find a way to handle the
mass of e-mail I'm generating when I do PR for the NFB. I used to use
Thunderbird, which didn't have this problem, but it recently started
crashing so much, I had to switch. I'm now using Outlook 2003, and here's a
"for instance" about what I'm trying to do and what happens.

 

I'm in the midst of trying to generate publicity for the kids who one the
Writers' Division Youth Writing Contest, which includes a boy from
Philadelphia. Since I have to refer back to the e-mails I've sent out to the
press and the parents, and since I'm sending out many e-mails both about
this and other things, I'm finding myself spending a lot of my increasingly
limited time downarrowing through my Sent and In Box folders. I thought
making a subfolder under Sent would at least help me keep track of the
outgoing mail, so I made one for the contest. Unfortunately, when I
transferred the mail to it, Jaws 12 no longer reads the name of the
recipient, and it has replaced it with the name of my account. Obviously
this is less than no help. I thought using the "arrange by" submenu would
work, but when I selected "To," it may have shifted things out of date
order, but the recipient's name is still unavailable to Jaws.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Donna
