If a user can successfully use the package manager and download the client of their choice I wonder if the introduction of IPS changes those limitations - I'd suspect it does.

My recollection is that full 508 compliance requires "equivalent access" to all users. If we required some subset of our users to download extra packages just to read their mail, then I dare say most people would deem that a workaround they could live with, but it would be somewhat bending the spirit of the accessibility guidelines.

If Thunderbird accessibility is as good as Will says it is, though, then it's not really an issue :)

Cheeri,
