re:JAWS and updated Hot Mail

Katherine,

I haven't received any message from MSN saying that all Hotmail accounts had 
to upgrade to the new Hotmail Live, but every so often, Hotmail tries to 
push me into switching to the live version when I am logging in.

I briefly tried the new version, and found it inaccessible with JFW 7.0. I 
even tried the "classic" version of Hotmail Live, and it was just as bad.

There may be an accessibility setting in the Hotmail Live options that would 
make it more screen-reader friendly, but I haven't looked. Fortunately for 
me, I have an older Hotmail account that was grandfathered in when MSN began 
charging a fee for POP access through Outlook Express, but if I ever need to 
access Hotmail from another computer using the browser, the Hotmail Live 
version will be a problem.

How about it, fellow list members, any of you figure out how to make using 
Hotmail Live via the browser JAWS friendly?

6.2.
