You might be able to do this by changing the order in which fields are displayed.  However, as I said a few days ago, this cannot be done from the keyboard.  It is not accessible.  You have to either have a sighted person do it or you have to use your screen-reader's virtual mouse to perform such actions.  I've almost never done it and I'll leave the description of how to do it to others.

NVDA has always said "Has Attachment" right away if I land on an email that has one but I always use Thunderbird. Don't know what email you are using, but that may be why you're not getting this notification.

Just so people know this, even though NVDA+Down Arrow on the Chrome About page reads only "About Blank" there is other text, including the Version, that NVDA can and does read if you have mouse tracking on (which it is by default) and you glide your mouse pointer about the screen.

I have no idea why NVDA Find cannot find the word Version while a standard CTRL+F find in Chrome itself does.  I've tied playing with the commands to Follow System Caret and Move mouse to current navigator object to see if I could get NVDA to read that way, but I haven't succeeded.

Even if you don't typically use a mouse, if you've got one and are really certain that there must be something on a page you can get a lot of information by doing a slow, orderly "glide over" of the page with the mouse.  Depending on the layout of the page left-to-right working from top to bottom may work best.  For others top-to-bottom working from left to right will work best.  The layout of the Chrome About screen is pretty much a single column, not far from the left, so top to bottom, left to right works reasonably well.  You can always try a "quick and dirty" scan with the mouse until you hear something, anything, announced then getting organized about moving about.

Mouse tracking is one of the NVDA features I really like best because it gives another method to get to information when "the usuals" get cranky.

one thing that I have never seen discussed is whether the physical mouse can be used by a blind person with NVDA on a web page where some problem exists that prevents Flash from being worked with.  I haven't used a physical mouse and I don't know if NVDA can see Flash controls when working with it.
 
I've seen it stated that some links can only be clicked with a physical mouse and for some reason, are coded not to work from the keyboard.  I expect this is nothing more than bad coding and design and I have either never or almost never come across such links but that's another interesting aspect of the discussion.

Both of these situations are very interesting and worth exploring.  If anyone encounters either situation it would be very useful to post the web address(es) of the pages in question so that direct exploration can commence.

I agree that bad coding and design is responsible for a lot of accessibility (and other) problems.  I'm constantly trying to convince my partner that every problem he has, particular in regard to web browsing, is not necessarily the fault of his "lousy computer" but is equally, if not more, likely to be the fault of the website itself.  There's a lot of GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) code out there.

Re: FW: Chrome updates

It's also worth noting that the same page you work with for the about information in Chrome also is the page used for working with plugins.  If you want to change plugin settings, again, you can't do so as you used to unless you exit NVDA and run it again.
 
I'm not sure if you will have to do the same thing for other items that use that page.  It appears that history opens the same page.

Same here in Windows Live Mail 2012.  Though the attachment field isn't first, it's before the From and Subject and I virtually never have any message arrive marked important (the actual first field).  It's also interesting to note that in WLM 2012 you only see the fields laid out that way in one-line message view and that attachments will not even be shown on messages that have them until/unless the sender is on your safe sender's list.  A test message I just sent to my testing account from one of my own e-mail accounts didn't show that it had an attachment because I'd never added myself to the safe sender's list prior to doing the test.  Once I did, the "has attachment" field then populated in the message list.

Hi,

Doesn't it depend on the mail client ? In thunderbird, here, it does just that, because the attachment field is first.
Or am I misunderstanding something ?

    Nvda does say has attachments in thunderbird but youhave to be reading from the list of messages and not from inside of a message if your and you delete a message and the next message has an attachment you won't hear it unless you go back out of the message and go back to the list of messages hope thats helps.

Hi Shaun and all,

First of all, thank you very much for this information! I didn't know
that, on which twitter did you read it?
And how this server (for the code) is affiliated to NVDARemote creators?
Last question: I set up a server, but I don't find the e-mail address to
contact, what e-mail address is it?

Thanks!

Patrick

Hi.
well I just read this on twitter but there are some unofficial remote

nvdaremote.com is the main server.
nvra.me is the server list there are 16 servers and could be room for

Re: nvda remote unofficial servers

Shaun Everiss
 

Well from the post I read on twitter depending how far you are from the primary server, there is a delay of some note.
Also if it ever died we wouldn't have any remote access as such unless you did it locally.
Pluss you were supposed to make your own servers.
From what I know from the site, all servers are using an unofficial remote server mod of nvda remote, running on ubuntu linux through vertual units.

Hi Ben

The user manual for nvda remote can be found under the help section for
the add on in the nvda add on manager.

If you are interested, a while back I did a audio and also a written
tutorial on using it. It can be found on the nvda audio tutorials page
at http://accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20audio%20tutorials.html
When you get there jump down by headings to the section that refers to
NVDA remote.
It starts below this heading called How to provide assistance to another
NVDA user (using the NVDA Remote Support add-on)

It should be easy enough to follow. Again it is in both written and you
can listen to a audio version.

hope this helps.
