Tony,
you may have the Preview Pane unchecked. Thus you need to press enter on
a
message to read it, not the tab key. Also, the tab key brings you to
links
(if they are present) in an email - the email address, etc., being email
links. If you want to toggle the state of the preview Pane, from the
message list - press the escape key to leave the message when this is
read -
hit alt-v for View, l for layout, and then p (which will either check or
uncheck the preview pane). The preview Pane checked means that you can
tab
from the list into the message without opening the message.

Hi Tim,
Just tried the same now on your message but still the same problem!
When in the body of your message response to me I did shift and tab to try
to bring me back to the messages list but shift and tab just brings me up
the page till eventually it lands me in the inbox!
I can resolve the problem a bit by bringing the message to the top of the
page and then shift and tab.
I am using a laptop and even plugged an external keyboared and still the
same!
I know you should be able to shift tab from the body of an incoming
message
and it should instantly land you on the message thus "Tim Culhane" and the
subject!
I feel that it may need an adjustment to my settings but of course don't
know how to go about that!
It is not a major problem for me in the mighty scale of things but boy is
it
not annoying!!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Shift tab and tab should move you back and forth through the message
fields, such as body, subject, to, cc, bcc, attachment and any other
fields which exist in the message.
If you want to move back to the inbox I'd try alt + tab as this will
switch you to the previously highlighted window, which was most likely
the
inbox.

Hi All,
Now when I am in the body of an email in OE and wish to delete or save
same,
I of course hit shift and tab but it still leaves me in the message body
albeit higher up on the page.
Eventually it will bring me to 'inbox which is not what I want then!
I tried as a test connecting an external keyboard just to test, but still
the same!
My alt and tab keys are fine!
Any assist with this?
It's just that it is driving me scatty, that's all!! Thanks
Tony
