Re: [orca-list] Trisquel

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

I tried Thunderbird 13.
But no luck.
I press enter on the executable, but Orca does not respond for long time.
My wife looked at the screen and told me that password prompt had come 
long before Orca ever responded.
This means that there is some veard thing happening with Orca.
All other things such as the list of emails not working with Orca after 
a new email is received are well known to users.

I guess we are also aware that Key echo and word echo does not work when 
we write an email.
Happy hacking.
