'Ideally it would be a VO preference, able to be toggled by commanders or scripts for when the user needs it. However, users have been asking for that for years (since Lion in my case, longer for other people) and it hasn't happened. I figured that the next best thing would be programmatic control over it, maybe:
@IBOutlet weak var myTable:NSTableView!
myTable.accessibilityNotifyOnRowCountChange = False
That would prevent VoiceOver from ever being told that the count changed, thus preventing it from announcing the change to the user. It can't say "1 row added" if it is never notified that a row was added, after all. :)

What I'm wondering is if this is a new thing developers can take advantage of? Some trait or property to set on the table view that will silence the "1 row added" notification? Or is this internal to Mail only? If it's the latter, consider this a plea to make it public! :) Thanks.
