Re: [orca-list] Best T-Bird Version for use with Orca 3.3.x?

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

I think I tried using the 'open in a new tab' option, but, can try again. 
At the time I started this thread, I was using 'open in new window', 
brobably because the 'new tab' option did not work.  I'm using alpine in 
the terminal, and may make that the mainstay for email.  Re:  your 
comments on fix priority, I think, if some visual or mouse action aspect 
of t-bird didn't 
look right, a global emergency would have been  declared, and the problem
 fixed yesterday;  lol.



Cheers,



Dave
