Thanks, Graham. Pleased to hear that it works with Jaws. It used to do with
Hal, but I
suspect that IE7 is the reason why it has stopped doing so. I have a demo of
W-E on this
system and must try how it behaves with this rather odd link/button.
I fail to see why when Google decided to offer the basic view as an alternative
they could
not have given us a Settings link which opened the appropriate dialogue as well
as those for
In Box, Sent Mail etc.
