Paul, I am not an Outlook user. Nor is it a personal goal of mine to do a thousand emails in an hour. Speed does not necessarily ensure efficiency, and there is no way any person, blind or sighted, and on whatever device, can give any kind of meaningful attention to that much written material in that little time. If what you mean is that you can go and delete several hundred messages without reading them, hey, I can do that too! But if I were doing that, I'm afraid I'd lose patience with the whole process and unsub from those lists that contributed so significantly to the cybertrash! On the other hand, if I'm really interested in a topic, then I will usually do the members of a list the courtesy of reading their messages.
In the end, Paul, you and I are both fortunate enough to have the equipment we require to get the job done. I'm sure the good folk at Humanware have registered the complaints of you and others, and perhaps we could move on now, unless there arre specific questions to be answered? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: "Paul Henrichsen"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 04/Sep/06 12:20:48 AM To: "'Braillenote List'"<[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Braillenote] If you are an outlook user, set your messages to be grouped by conversation as well as to be filtered into various folders and see how your email reading process will speed up dramatically. Grouping mail, I can get through 1000 messages in less than an hour notwithstanding replies. Try the same number of messages on an Mpower or classic and tell me how long it takes you.

The point is, I should not have to sit here and reconstruct those search terms every time I download e-mail. Admittedly my experience with the PC is greater, since I use Outlook at work and at home and have been doing e-mail on the computer for over 15 years, however, I don't have time most days to deal with repetitive tasks that could be automated. We have been asking for filtering of messages since I joined the list in late 2000 even before I received my Braille Note. I never used it for e-mail in the early days, not until I got a wireless card last year in fact, but until my computer crashed I never used it to receive all my messages for a day. For me, and many others like me who have limited time to deal with e-mail but need info from several lists, the current e-mail client is annoying. I know I am not the only person who has strong feelings on this issue. It isn't as if I am the only person or customer who would benefit from changes in the e-mail client.

It has been described many times on this list how to find and separate messages, so filtering is not a problem. In fact, because of some mental block I have going with Outlook Express, filtering is easier for me on the BN. And, you really can read HTML messages, although I would have to agree that you have to really want to! So, for me, it works wonderfully! Now the battery is entirely another issue! I have real problems there, and always have had, and when I get the time to turn around, I need to put myself on the list of people who need battery help! In the mean time, I do what Rhonda does! It's plugged in most of the time, and there's not a problem. I'll be glad to have it fixed, but it's something I've learned to live with. Enjoy that great battery of yours!

I often use mine for up to 14 hours in a day. I've used it while on a 16-hour trip, from door to door. The battery went low, but, thank the good Lord, came right back up when I plugged it in to an outlet. My friends bought a new, rather expensive, car and have had it in the shop 3 times since purchase, which was in March. Someone from Church bought the same make/model car in February, and has had no problem. My point, you can have a unit of a product give you trouble. It doesn't mean the entire product line is unreliable.
