Tom do you have "difficulties" with OE for the screen reader, or something else? -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" 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. Tom ** Message Separater ** >Tom, > >Why don't you simply move up to V7.1? It's free.
