Can anyone say whether this is an additional column that could be shown 
if we could add new columns (see below)? If not (or this isn't 
accessible even once shown), this needs to be filed as a bug.
IN any case, as a work around, listen for the size of the message. If 
it's larger than a few kb, it probably has an attachment. :)

Once you tab to the preview pane, it should be read with the virtual 
cursor. If not, this is a bug in JAWS 9.
