Jaws 10, Outlook 2007, inbox not reading - problem fixed

With 2 clients recently I experienced a very strange problem which made me tear my hair out and nearly left me bald!

Problem

In Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Jaws 10 (build 1154), the inbox list was not reading at all. Even the Jaws cursor wouldn't recognize text. Hmm, i thought. In the verbosity settings I turned on the setting to use MSAA for attachments. Lo and behold, Jaws did pick up those messages that had an attachment - saying "attachment" very nicely

Phew!
