Hello Eric.

I believe the best thing is to file a feature request at bugzilla. Here's a handy link to file a bug for thunderbird (bugs include feature requests, so don't let the terminology fool you):

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Thunderbird&format=guided

I'm not sure how easy it is to handle it without visual output (or input, from the user's perspective), so I will do that for you, if you give enough information for me to know what I'm requesting (I'm not familiar with accessibility software).

I am having to use safari to access even here. mozilla firefox and its mail application thunderbird are not en tirely compatible with OS X VoiceOVer. most of the menus get read, but the text windows I am interested in (in t-bird) remain unspoken. I'll his the feature request site.

btw, mozilla needs to get off their collective butts and quit worrying about apples developer license. all they need to do is contact apple, and arrange for source access. enough of the pointing fingers people, I am a customer of both of you and I am waiting for help!
