Well, I always get nervous when people give out a list of features, but insist things must be easy, because I'm of the belief that easy and feature rich are rather antithetical. So, I won't comment about easy. I will tell you that most of us on this list use either pine or mutt for email. You probably already have mutt, or could easily get it for your distro. Mutt would be my recommendation, but pine is a good choice, too. Whether you use mutt or pine, you'll need to tweak the configuration in order to make the mail program blind friendly. PS: In mutt you can delete a thread of messages by pressing ctrl-d. Is that what you would call easy? PPS: To edit the mutt configuration, you edit a text file. Pine has a built in configuration editor. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina at freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
