I did use the script installer. I went ahead and added that line to my
ConfigNames.ini file but no difference. I did recycle JAWS and
Thunderbird after updating ConfigNames.ini. I am running XP. BTW, the
scripts do seem to be working, but insert+q just says "default settings"
and insert+1 doesn't give me any Thunderbird help for the Thunderbird
script keys.
I've noticed one more thing as well. When I delete a note with
control+d, I don't hear the next message read automatically. Ditto if I
move a message to a folder.
Thanks for the scripts!
