Hi, Ray,

Sorry, must have missed your original message, so that's why I'm attaching 
my reply to Graham's.

MSN Groups aren't too bad for accessibility as far as I'm concerned. 
However, please note that I still rely to some extent on my pathetic levels 
of sight, and don't have JAWS or anything else posh.

For a partially sighted person, at least MSN Groups use scaleable fonts, and 
the colour contrasts are OK. Group owners can change all sorts of settings 
to meet particular needs, in any case.

As far as I know, there isn't a visual verification procedure in MSN Groups 
(unlike Yahoo and several others), though you do need an MSN Passport to 
join everything you might want to. a Passport is simply your e-mail address 
and some sort of password.

I've just tried Narrator on the Pinpoint site, and it does make some sort of 
sense of it - it reads the group links fine, so you wouldn't get completely 
lost even using the humble Narrator.

Hope that helps a bit.

Vince
