Sue,
Thank you for your suggestion. Actually, version 7.1 of
Eudora is the one I have.
The problem isn't the capability of my computer, it has a
three gHz processor, one GB of memory and running Windows
XP Pro. The problem is that the newer versions of
Eudora handles the edit window for writing e-mail in a
way that screen readers can't seem to cope with. It isn't
just my computer and screen reader, it's a known
problem among the access technology world. Unless you
understand how screen readers work it would be difficult to
explain. The older versions of Eudora have a more standard
interface that works well with screen readers.
I'm probably either going to have to put up with the
problems or start using Outlook Express, which has other
difficulties.
It's just another problem blind people have when trying to
adapth to a sighted society.
