or .zip (manual install currently necessary on 64-bit Windows)

Recent changes:

Fixed Control+Backspace so that it works similarly to Backspace, saying 
the prior word that is deleted.  Fixed a

regression in the script installer so that it now properly puts the 
following setting in the ConfigNames.ini file

in the user script folder:

Thunderbird3.0=Thunderbird

For the Thunderbird scripts to load, I found this setting to be needed 
under Windows XP, though unnecessary under

Vista32.

Ported several hotkeys implemented in the firefox Max scripts, which are 
available as an executable installer at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/FxMax.exe

or as a zip archive at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/FxMax.zip

As before the W quick navigation key goes to the next occurrence of a 
word at the virtual cursor position, and

Shift+W goes backward.  Now Alt+W goes to the next occurrence of the 
current line of text.  For example, pressing

Alt+W on the top line of a message may be useful for skipping 
advertizing and getting to the main content, since

JAWS puts the message title on the top line of its virtual display. 
Alt+Shift+W goes backward.

Press Control+G to go to a percentage point in the message, e.g., input 
50 for the midpoint.  Alt+G repeats the

command.  This navigation option may be useful in a large message.

When the virtual cursor is on a link, press Alt+U for its URL reference, 
indicating what web page your default web

browser would open if you pressed Enter.  Pressing Alt+U twice quickly 
puts the URL in the virtual viewer, where

you can examine it more closely or copy it to the clipboard.

Use the Page Urls command, Alt+P, for a list of link text and URLs of 
the current HTML message (the word "page" is

used for consistency with the Firefox Max hotkey).  Press Alt+P twice 
quickly to virtualize the list. The text and

URL of a link are displayed on the same line, seperated by an equals 
sign (=).  Sometimes, a URL has no associated

text.  You can press enter on a line to open the URL in your default 
browser.
