Please define "space". Bandwidth?
Yes
How many of the mail users care these days about the bandwidth?
Yes of course, but unfortunately it is the most accessible email client
and this is much more important for the blind users than the fact that it
uses a so big header.
What's wrong with thunderbird + my scripts that I worked on for a few
hours?
It is wrong the fact that it is not very accessible with Jaws 6.0 that I
must use for the reasons I explained for many times on the list, and it is
also wrong that you need to work for hours to create those scripts which I
don't like.
A few years ago I was creating Jaws scripts for many apps for making them
even more friendly, but now I don't like to lose that time anymore.
Not exactly. The Linux users should create their own mail client that
respects the Windows standards, because those are followed by the
majority of users.
Well, then nothing will change. Maybe our style is far better?
"better" or "worse" is subjective, so we don't have anything to discuss
about this.
What's better for all Linux users, is probably worse for most Windows users,
and that's why they are using Windows.
Anyway the linux style is better. and you know it.
Why?
- Shorter mails
We can write much shorter mails with Windows and Windows common mail clients
if we want, but it seems that most of us don't care too much about this,
because if the older messages are below the text we need to read, they don't
hurt us.
- Easier to follow if you haven't read all the other posts
I always read all the other posts, or I delete all the messages because I am
not interested in the current thread.
- Not as big
You repeat yourself.
- Less typing
I don't understand. Why less typing? Does Linux offer a keyboard that type
full words?
etc
Oh, etc also?
You could add a few more etc to seem to be more advantages...
