Sometimes, rather than doing that, I will write some sort of warning like this:

Here is a possible spoiler for the problem asked about, so if you don't want it, either delete it or save for later if you might need it. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, here's my solution:

This would be enough text so that those who don't want the solution can silence their screen readers before the solution is given.

Hi Paulette,

It is considered good list etiquette to let readers know that a spoiler is coming so they can close the e-mail before viewing the spoiler. The reason Charles and many others spell the word out putting each letter on a separate line is a sighted convention used on many mailing lists to force a sighted reader to scroll down to find the spoiler rather than having it appear on the same screen. We observe this convention here even though with a screen reader its less necessary for us to do so.

Cheers!

Hi Charles,

I don't understand your last post. Why did you put each letter for the
words, spoiler and space, on a separate line? And what do they mean? I use
backtracking, too. It works well.

Paulette
