Hi mo,
That looks fairly comprehensive but a lot of work for me, and I
don't want to bother to do it, so perhaps I'll give Thunderbird
another try. By the way, What I really disliked was that I wasn't
able to use Jaws with Thunderbird. Does that still stand, or can I
make Jaws my speech screen reader?
You may like to call me to take this off list, and any help you
can give, will of course, be much appreciated.
Thanks. Carol P
