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

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, that bug drove me to switch almost full time to mutt and finish figuring out how to get it do the couple 
of things I needed to make this not only a 
comfortable move, but one of the most notable efficiency improvements to my overall computing experience 
since the bigg one of switching OS from Windows 
to Linux. When I finalyy found a nightly build where that was fixed I was a happy camper and could go back to 
using thunderbird when it was more 
practical to handle email from my GUI. 
I will have to fire up the Debian test box later and check, but firefox and thunderbird didn't work with orca 
for me either there though, so issue not 
be due do something not having made it upstream and back down in to the unbranded versions of these apps.
