Rod,
I personally have used Outlook for many years and really like it a lot. I know a lot of people complain about it, but I couldn’t live without it. I use it both for e-mail and calendar and find it to be very accessible. The latest Outlook Enhance app is a tremendous help when reading your mail since it loads the messages into the browse mode buffer. It isn’t perfect but, again, I couldn’t live without it. For me, Outlook is pretty reliable. If you need a free e-mail client, I know many people use Thunderbird. I know Steve at GW uses it and he is blind. I think the accessibility of Thunderbird has gotten better lately. I have never used it so you guys who do correct me if I am wrong. These are just my thoughts. I hope they are helpful in some way.

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 From: Chip Orange Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 7:38 PM To: [email protected] 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.

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. Bruce Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 2:10 PM Subject: RE: Cuckoo Clock Sleep/Screen Saver mode Fix Not yet Bruce, afraid when I have free time I’m chasing my own bugs <grin> Chip From: BX [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2013 7:25 PM To: [email protected] 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
