Desyree,
My initial five minutes looking at courier tells me that you can indeed edit
with the virtual cursor off, as Willi suggested. However you can only read
inbound male with the cursor active, as you've noted.
I know you were looking at a Com solution to this problem, but there may be
another way of doing it.
The format menu on the menu bar isn't present in a read-only message, but it
is on one you are writing. You might be able to use this to test how you
want the cursor to be active or not.
If you write a message with the virtual cursor off then turn the cursor back
on to read it, the markup speaks fine. Of course it's impossible to select
the appropriate text to mark whilst the cursor is active, but having virtual
on is a useful review tool. Also, several options from within a read-only
message require selection of text.
On the whole, the UI seems very friendly and accessible, hotkeys are
plentiful and the client itself seems quite responsive. If you can get over
this hurdle I see no reason why Courier can't become yet another mail
client, easily accessible with JAWS.
Questions:
Does anybody have code to detect for the presence of a menu? My initial
thinking of WinGetText on the appropriate menubar (which isn't a standard
class) might well work, but seems clunky. Is this a better approach than
using Com?
Sean.

Subject: [jawsscripts] help coding HTML E mail messages
I am in the process of writing scripts for an email client called courier
(formly known as calypso. This email client is for the most part accessible
right out of the box except for writing html emails.
If you compose an email in html you cannot write the body of the message. I
need help as to how to code this so that I can write html emails in courier
if I choose.
Also currently it does not read html emails quite right either. it tends to
think that you are editing the message instead of just reading it but I am
pretty sure I can fix this with a setting in courier itself.
currently all i have for a script is the start and the end. So if you could
kindly help provide the necessary code and where it goes i will copy and
paste it in the right place.
thanks
Desyree
PS I had a system crash so I could have missed something if this was already
answered.
