Re: accessible email client on gnome

Hello.
As for the focus tracking problem that is a known bug with gnopernicus 0.7
and 0.7.1 stable There are to possibilities you can do for work arounds for
the problem.
With gnopernicus 0.7.1.
First,  if you open a message in balsa by pressing enter on the current
message, go to mail, and reply you can then use the regular arrows to read
the entire message. Yeah, I know it isn't the same, but it works.
In fact, i like doing that better than flat review as I can arrow to the
letters to get exact spellings.
Another less apealing solution is to update gail and gnopernicus from cvs
which fixes the flat review bug, but introduces some new bugs.
As to the reason I am not using balsa at the moment has nothing to do with
accessibility. At the moment I am having problems with my smtp setup. Every
time I try to send mail in Linux with mutt, balsa, etc my mail I get an
error about not being able to send. However, balsa can pop mail off of
earthlink which comes down to I can read mail I just can't send any yet.
Until I get smtp going under Mandrake I will just have to improvize with the
Windows email clients until such time that I solve the smtp problems.
