I am glad you are able to access this.  I did not have any problems with it either.

Thanks for letting me know.  I use Zoom Text with high contrast black.  I have low vision needs in regards to the computer; however, when I don't have technology ability to display written information I use Braille.  I can't see without the use of my technology.

I am sure many understand this!  We ould be lost without it.  

Have a blessed day!
Darlene

Hi Darlene,

I am using JAWS 15 and it seems to read fine for me.  I am also using Microsoft Outlook 2010 to access my e mail.

Please provide more info about the problem if you can.  If you are using a different screen reader someone else may be of help.  What program or method do you use to access your e mail?

Thanks,
Jim
