Hi Mo,
I tried using Thunderbird for a while with JAWS and had some problems
with it so gave up. I wonder if you've experienced these problems or
if you've got any ideas?
The first problem I had was when composing a message, trying to put
things in the cc field. It seemed like you had to change a combobox
from saying "to" to saying "cc" but whenever I did that I would lose
whatever I'd already put in the "to" field. Also JAWS wouldn't read
the contents of the to/cc field properly and kept saying it was in a
table. Also I never found a way to create a group in the address book
- I could create and name a new group, but could not find a way to add
people to it. Hmmmm those are all I can remember at the moment...have
you any ideas?
Thanks,
Catherine
