At the bottom of all DOE mail the following lengthly text is electronic
linked to a survey of the person who sent the email. Two blind people
that use speech have called be with problems in responding to the
survey. After talking to them, I was sure that they were stuck in the
header files "index list". (Note this is DOE's fixed header.) To me, it
is some what of an example that bad coding can confuse a typical user.
(Note if the link does work and you go to it, and decide to reply to the
survey, provide a stellar response, cause I linked to a real footer to
one of my emails. <all fives and remarkable comments always appreciated>
