Lindsay, This is Joseph. There is an announcement-only list run by HumanWare. In order to differentiate from that particular list, it is crucial that the poster should insert BrailleNote tag at the front of each message, otherwise, Mailman won't recognize it. The second problem might be avoided if you add Braillenote in the pronounciation dictionary of the screen reader that you are using (presumably JAWS). That'll solve the second issue. However, for the first one, it is rather technical in nature. I hope this information may help you.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lindsay Yazzolino Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 4:35 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] A couple nitpicky list suggestions Hello List, While searching the BrailleNote list archives, I ran across some things which have prompted me to make a couple of suggestions for minor list modifications. I don't know how practical or necessary these suggestions are, however, they were based on my experiences viewing the list archives and I don't know if others on this list have run across the same problems. While searching through the messages, I became well aware that the subject line of each was headed with the [Braillenote] tag. While this tag can be helpful in determining from whom these messages originate while receiving them via e-mail, I have found it to be somewhat of a nuisance to listen to this tag being repeated multiple times in a row with a screenreader, especially while trying to skip through messages as quickly as possible. Would it be possible for these tags to be automatically removed from the archives in the future, and if so, would this be practical? I have noticed that the "re" which heads all replies, has automatically been removed and am unsure whether it would be possible to remove the [Braillenote] tags as well. My next and somewhat smaller suggestion, which goes along the same lines as my previous one, may prompt some of you to wrinkle your noses at the grammarian in me. *smile* I have noticed that the BrailleNote tag reads [Braillenote]. Considering that screenreaders often mispronounce this tag, along with the fact that it does not reflect the capitalization of our beloved notetaker's name, I am curious whether it would be possible for the "n" to be capitalized so that the tag reads [BrailleNote] instead of what sounds to many screenreader users as something similar to [braille en nut] without modifying the pronunciation in the pronunciation dictionary. As I have previously said, I know that these suggestions are very nitpicky and could understand if they are not worth taking the time to implement, however, i still thought I would bring them to the attention of whoever is now managing the list.
