Or..? || || ||| I'm a Windows XP Home Edition w/Service Pack 2 user who relies on ||| Outlook Express 6 for my email. On this list and also on another of ||| my mailing lists ||| this morning, there are a lot of messages about email client ||| problems of some sort. The subject lines gave me the impression ||| that give me the impression that Outlook Express is being replaced ||| for all of us, and that the new email client that replaces it is ||| not Jaws accessible and has other difficulties or flaws about it, ||| as well. The messages sound really anguished ||| and furious, and many of them express passionate philosophical ||| viewpoints about the general theme of blind access technology and ||| changes in consumer software and other products and the future of ||| blind access. ||| ||| Intrigued and a little alarmed, I opened more messages in these ||| threads and ||| read more, hoping to find a down to earth reference about just what ||| was happening that had kicked off the thread in the first place. ||| ||| The result is that I think (I hope, perhaps I should say) that the ||| issue has ||| nothing to do with Outlook Express at all, but rather that Windows ||| Vista users with one of the built-in Vista email clients found some ||| automatic update download had changed their Vista email service for ||| a new version that's not Jaws or Window eyes accessible, and people ||| are trying to figure out what to do to get their earlier, ||| accessible Vista email client back. ||| ||| Is that approximately correct? and if I'm an XP person using OE, ||| this issue ||| isn't related to me, and has nothing to do with OE at all, ||| actually? Or is my OE about to be changed without my consent? ||| ||| Hope someone can see what is puzzling me. Should I be worried? ||| Thanks very much. ||| ||| -- ||| JFW related links: ||| JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ ||| Scripting mailing list: ||| http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com ||| JFW List instructions: ||| To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ||| To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to ||| jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject ||| line.
