Hi Rod,
If you had an XP computer Outlook Express is the best, but Microsoft did
the usual thing,
"If it ain't broke, we will fix it!"
Outlook is a pain and takes time getting use to it. Before in Outlook
Express you just tab and get into the list, hit a letter and it goes to the
list and your done.
Outlook just lists them and not the way you want them, by group and date...
It is a real pain but you may have no choice going to it.

Subject: E-mail client accessibility
Hi Chip,
On an unrelated matter, I’m using Windows Live Mail for my e-mail client
(mainly, for the moment, because it’s free). However, for literally months,
I’ve had tracking issues in my message window and I’m about a step and a half
away from getting some cash together to buy the MS Office Suite and so be able
to use Outlook. I noticed you are using Outlook (from viewing your message
details ), and I was wondering how you like it, and do you have any
accessibility issues?
Also, anyone reading this: what’s the best e-mail client from the point of
view of accessibility? Bruce, I see you are using the reliable old Outlook
Express, but, unfortunately, Windows 7 barred the use of it...too bad for me! :)
Thanks, Chip, and everyone,
Rod Smile

Subject: RE: Cuckoo Clock Sleep/Screen Saver mode Fix
Bruce,
Let me just warn you to pay attention when you upload an updated app; be sure
to look at the follow-up screen after you click on the “update app” button; I
am unable to update my app right now because the GW web site keeps saying my
new .wepm file has a virus, and it won’t let me apply my new update.
Unfortunately though, it seems to tell users though there’s been an update,
even though the update didn’t get uploaded. I wasn’t paying close attention to
the follow-up web page, so I hadn’t notice that GW was rejecting it.
Hopefully GW will get to look at this soon.

OK Chip,
I have the other changes just have not packaged it up.
I guess I could do that now. I spent this afternoon getting more chapters
for the VB 2010 and C++ from the on-line book...and now done with that.

Not yet Bruce, afraid when I have free time I’m chasing my own bugs <grin>

Subject: Cuckoo Clock Sleep/Screen Saver mode Fix
Hi Chip,
did you fix the Cuckoo Clock issue? On line 795 is the fault and adding
the mod 15 for a minute test should fix it. I have a flag test added and may
post the fix tonight which will include a on/off flag for those who like it
announcing when out of sleep mode as David had suggested. I actually can
duplicate the issue when my tower goes into sleep mode from the screen saver
event...
Sincerely
Bruce
