    Getting Efficient With Reading Email Messages in Microsoft Outlook.

    Through Leasey, JAWS has the ability to automatically speak the content of the Outlook reading pane as you move through messages in a mail folder. This means that if the reading pane is enabled, as you move to a new message JAWS will speak the usual details such as the presence of attachments, author and subject, followed by the content of the reading pane. In most cases, the reading pane displays the entire content of a message. This can be very helpful because you can read your Email messages without opening them. Listening to this information can help in making a decision as to whether you wish to open the message, move it elsewhere or delete it. This feature is a real productivity boost.
