See my comments after each.

Freedom Scientific is attempting to resolve several
issues with the JAWS 6.10 release in response to customer
feedback. A new release of JAWS 6.10 will be available on
Friday afternoon, April 15.
Note that if you have already downloaded and
installed the 6.10 version posted on April 7, 2005, this new
version will install over it and update it. There is no
reason to uninstall JAWS.
This improved release of JAWS 6.10 will feature the
following additional fixes:
* MSN Messenger 6.2 should be working again with
JAWS as it was prior to the previous posting.
This one was related to the Outlook Express/Outlook
getting stuck on the top line. The issues came up with
several beta testers and we could never get to the bottom of
it until the Friday night after we posted. It got fixed last
Saturday. The beta testers were most concerned about these
two issues.
* Problems with DECtalk ACCESS32 and JAWS 6.10
(Unicode version) are resolved.
This was not found in the Beta Cycle. It was
related to the Unicode changes and it appears I don't have
beta testers using our old Access32. We have not sold it for
several years now.
* When you reply to an Outlook or Outlook Express
e-mail message, JAWS will no longer get "stuck" on the first
line.
Related to MSN.
* In Outlook, the keystroke for reading MSAA
information will be changed from CTRL+SHIFT+M to
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+M to avoid conflicts with the native Outlook
keystroke.
Beta missed this. My support guys caught it after
we posted.
* JAWS will consistently open attachments in Outlook
when you select one from the INSERT+A list and press ENTER.
This one was introduced in 6.1. The problem only
occurred if the mouse pointer was sitting in the Task Bar
when you did the Insert A. Most of the beta testers are
blind so never figured it out. It happened so seldom it was
tough to find but I figured this one out myself this past
week.
* JAWS will speak properly during installation if
MAGic 9.30 is running.
This one got introduced late in the cycle and got
missed. If you launched MAGic after JAWS was running, there
was not problem.
* JAWS will speak correctly when selecting text in
Outlook message headers.
They had reported this one, we just had a hard time
solving it.
* Solved issues of certain Web pages with frames
occasionally causing JAWS to stop responding.
This was on very few web sites. for-the-people.com
was the one that got reported right after we posted by a
user.
* Several minor issues in the JAWS online help
system are resolved.
We are always adjusting for these all the time.
* Resolved an issue of occasional crashes in CPRS
application used at the Veterans Administration.
This has been a long standing issue with the VA. We
don't have access to their application but finally got to
the bottom of it and put it in.
