> On returning from the NFB Convention Saturday, I discovered a nice
> surprise in my main home inbox.  Apparently, my message about the
> problems we have with Skype 1.3 made it deep enough into the Skype
> company to get some attention.  The following message indicates that
> Skype now plans to implement MSAA support for the contact list, which
> will help us considerably and, I think, will pave the way for more
> MSAA support in other places where it is needed, such as in the Call
> History list and possibly the chat windows (participant lists and chat
> message and notice windows).  This message also explains why the Call
> Contact submenu was removed.
>
> I am also being invited onto the Skype beta team so I can help test
> the new MSAA support before it becomes available to the public.  This
> I will do.

feedback

> In our recent internal beta build (1.4.0.5) we have implemented
preliminary
