Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird wil become a webbased application in near future :-(



Interesting! I guess the accessibility of the app itself doesn’t depend on electron, but something else.

Well, I’ll have to subit a therow report to the signal foundation about this then.

is quite accessible.

 

If TB uses electron for the interface, I think we will have no problems

regarding accessibility.
