Adding to the yahoo problem, You can't see what is on screen when you hit backspace in a message, slow reaction to checking boxes on a win98 machine, They have to many links on a page with to much aweful javascript and the forward button doesn't work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sailesh Panchang" <sailesh.panchang@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 9:29 AM Subject: Using Yahoo and Hotmail > Hello Listers, > This is my experience with Yahoo and Hotmail and was checking if anyone else has same concerns. > Yahoo Mail accessed through Internet Explorer on Win2K or WinXP Problems: > Here are just three issues: > - During message composition, the message body textarea is announced by JAWS 5 as "Frame" which is a problem.

The sign on screen comes in on Win2K machine but then I get server not found or server busy error. On WinXP machine even the sign on screen does not come on. I can use Hotmail through Outlook Express unlike Yahoo but due to this server problem am unable to get to mail. Is anyone experiencing similar problems? > Thanks, > Sailesh > > -- > 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. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
