Hi everyone: about e-mail! i've just had a question from someone who
uses Outlook (Express?) and uses wallpaper in her e-mail (which also
means it would be in html). she is wondering if the wallpaper creates
any accessibility issues.

i told her it created a bigger file (wasting bandwidth) but didn't know
what to say about accessibility. and, come to think of it, i don't even
know how folks read email when there is no sight. does Jaws read
e-mail? are there other programs people use?

i directed her to the website but then realized that i should just sign
up for the list again (its been a while since i was here). I *love* lists.

thanks for any information and enlightenment.

best regards,
Donna Jones
