Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird Badly Broken!



Hi,
Is there a 64 bit version available?  I checked the download page and didn't find it, maybe it is somewhere else?
Thanks for the help

Hi Jacob, well, I think we can disreguard my previous post. I looked 
around and found a different directory to download from and I now have 
version 3.0B instead of 3.0A. I replaced the contents into my 
/usr/local/lib and all is working fine now. In fact, I'm lovin' this! 
The gmail setup was excellent and I'm replying with the 'list-reply' 
function. This latest version is really cool! In fact, it works much 
better here with Orca than it does with Window-Eyes. The only other mail 
program that has a list-reply function that I know of is mutt so I was 
tickled pink to see that function added heere. I also love the 
notification if a thread is collapsed or not. The windows screen readers 
can't point that out.

So again, sorry folks for the false alarm; I now have thunderbird 
working and this may give mutt some serious competition.
