Hey all, anyone use Mozilla Tunderbird with JAWS? I've played with it, but haven't had much success. Any sugesstions ot make it more accessible?

Saw that download today, but didn't try it yet. I can download it and see if it works, but usually Freedom Scientific stays with mainstream programs, so you'll need to play with it some and decide if it works for you. If not delete it and go back to what does. You might post a review on your findings so that the creators know that blind people are interested and may make it accessible.

From other communities I'm in, I hear that the Mozilla "edit" controls are not accessible via MSAA; am thinking this is the issue. I've tried Thunderbird and can "sort-of" use it with JAWS. The Mozilla folk need to know that accessibility is of higher priority than they now have it.
