Interesting indeed. Can't say, as I didn't see the message, but it sounds a lot like he's just plain missing your reply. Depending on the screenreader and client combination, he may have been dropped just underneeth your reply. Or, for all I know, you may not have put your reply where he expected it. Better just to ask him.

try again, using plain text." I found that kind of baffeling. because they could read my original message, but not my reply. oh well, I'll try again.

JFW can read HTML emails just fine, yes, and so can most if not all other screenreaders. However, there are still email clients out there that don't do well with HTML emails, so rather than take the chance that content on the list will be missed or misinterpreted by one of ose email clients, plain text emails are required. You don't lose any noticeable benefit over HTML emails, since most clients now do things like converting URL's into hyperlinks anyway. Also, it's a lot easier for spammers to hide certain things in HTML messages that people can unknowingly click on. So, this is as much for security reasons as it is an ease of viewing perspective.

I just found out on another group that I am on that there is a person who is blind/visually impaired. when I wrote a message to the group (replying to that particular message) I got a response back asking me if I could resubmit that message in plain text, because all that person could see was their message and the original message posted. I did both of these messages from the gmail website. why is it that this person needs messages in plain text? can't all screen readers read html? (I saw that we had to have things set to plain text on the JAWS list information e-mail). why is this, if JAWS seems to read all text in html just fine? or at least, it does for me.
now, an Outlook question. whenenever I want to find a message (by doing f3) I get the list of messages that I want, as per usual. my question is, do I have to close the program and then re-open it just to get back to all messages from everyone not just this person?
and this final question isn't so odd. I had made a post awhile back about Adobe Acrobat and JAWS and its acessibility but didn't get any response. how accessible is Adobe Acrobat and JAWS? I've seen the help file which talks about Acrobat/Acrobat Reader, but there is no distiction between the two or so it seems in the help file.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. as I suspected, my show hidden files was enabled, and I still don't have an application data folder. weird, but I've delbt with it for this long, I guess it shouldn't be a problem to deal with it some more.
