Re: [orca-list] A11Y in Icedove and Iceweasel

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

The name branding is not what's important.  The fact that it is usable and accessible is.  I had all sorts of 
trouble with Iceweasel and Icedove when I was using it that had basically been addressed quite some time ago 
upstream.  The most annoying was the bug that told you that you were on one message in Icedove when, in fact, 
your cursor was on another.  You'd hit delete thinking you'd deleted the unnecessary spam message trying to 
sell you a date with willing and lonely Russian beauties for a low monthly fee of $19.99 when, in fact, you'd 
gone and deleted uncle George's hamburger recipe which he'd finally agreed to send you after you'd wheedled, 
wined and cajoled him forever to do so.  It was maddening.

Begging your pardon for not following this thread, but I can use the dove and weasel with no apparent 
accessibility issues.  What's going on? 
  I find no reason to recommend that people add foreign repositories to their Debian or Trisquel, or 
whatever, just to get name-branded Mozilla application programs.


Best,


Dave
