Regarding Thunderbird: Are you talking about the message list in TB’s
inbox?
If so, would it then be possible to scroll through the mail haeadings as in
a table? That means, can you then scroll through all senders, subjects
etc.?

@Hermann, with JAWS 9, you’ll probably not notice a difference. IAccessibleTable2 needs to be implemented in assistive technologies first before users will notice increased accuracy in recognizing headings and other info in properly marked up data tables. Also, in the future, working with message tables such as the one found in Thunderbird should become more reliable, because we’ll expose the same kind of information. It’s a table, regardless of the underlying markup.

Which effects does this have for the users? E.g.: Can I see any difference
when viewing certain tables using FF 3.5.3 and the 3.7 nightlies?
I use Jaws 9.0 and NVDA.
