I haven't given Outlook Express a big chance because I much prefer mail
readers with a PC cursor that lets Say-All read messages from start to
finish, stop and look at things without having to use the JAWS cursor,
etc. I teach a computer class and use Internet mail as a means of
motivating typing students and giving them extended practice sometimes,
and I find the old Internet Mail program which went out with IE3 was
better suited to this use than Microsoft's modern replacement. If anyone
figures out how to make it possible to navigate messages in OE5 as they
were in Internet Mail, I sure hope I hear about it... but in the mean
time, I'd like to know:
Do those who proclaim OE5 as a very good mail program care much at all
about the disappearance of the PC cursor in messages? The message to
which I am replying recommends OE5 over Outlook 98, but Outlook 98 can be
made (and is, on one lab machine here) to allow the PC cursor to wander
around in messages. For this reason, I have always favored Outlook 98
over OE5--except, of course, for the issue of price...
