I am blind,
I prefer top posting as i hate having to read what the other person said
then have to read at the bottom of maybe 3 or 4 other posts what is the
latest relevant post. most blind posters prefer this way but I will go
with what ever is decided. I have my e-mail set to HTML view as if
there is a link I can click it.
But lots of blind users prefer plain text.

Avoiding HTML is also a plus for blind users: From what I know,
some/many often prefer text base mail clients over GUI clients.
I _guess_ that for blind people top-posting is much better than
bottom-posting, because finding the new text with a screen reader is
much harder than for a sighted user.
For the same reason, the suggestion to cleanup not needed stuff is
really reasonable.

In a discussion of mailing-list etiquette, there was a link to an
useful web page by Italo
Vignoli:<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette>.
I favor that perspective, and I also made a promise (below) to use
whatever approach that worked best for recipients who employ
accessibility assistance in some form.
I am thinking of this list, but I mean for all lists that I use. The
goal is to support accessibility for all everywhere, naturally.
I am asking here because it came to mind and I don't know a better forum.
Oh. Now there are two questions:
1. What practices using e-mail messages best support accessibility to
mailing-list conversations? (or, if that is too broad, what practices
definitely discourage accessibility). I would prefer that those who
use accessibility provision answer for themselves.
2. If this is not the best place to ask, what is another place that
might be a good place to find answers to this question.
If there is no "right" answer, I can be with that. But if there is a
preference I would prefer to honor it.

2. I have an offer. What formatting by senders will most powerfully
serve those on [libreoffice-accessibility]? What do those with access
limitations confirm to be the best that works for all of them?
Whatever *that* is, I will do everything in my power to honor.
I am not an expert about accessibility, but I recall that this is one of
the cases where top posting is the best choice. I suggest to have a
double check, though, as I am not competent in this domain.
