Re: [orca-list] Great job with Orca and GMail

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

Sure, of course I would love to see all such sites and web-aps work well with screenreaders. 
Last time I tried yahoo  mail it was far too sluggish to be usable for me. 
Again, some of my euphoria is likely a result of having a much faster connection than I did here a few months 
ago. On paper twice as fast, but in 
reality it's 10-12 X faster, usually more stable also. Even so, it should have been fast enough for email 
before, so I think my praise for gmail is 
warrnted.
Anyway, you should for sure contact the powers that be for any email service you use and explain what does 
and does not work with their web interfaces.
I did notice I have that orca problem of not switching focus modes when tabbing forward in to the edit fields 
making one go past and shift tab to get 
the automatic focus change...I just noticed this with the msg body some times.
