[gui-talk] viewing complex messages with outlook

[David Andrews]

I found this to be true in JAWS 12, but JAWS 13 seems to work much 
better with the alt-h, a, v commands.  You could usually get it in in 
jaws 12 by fiddling around, re-entering the message, hitting escape, 
moving to a different place in the table etc.

JAWS 13 seems to work like a charm, at least in this instance.
