thats not the only thing yahoo has been doing lately. I can't even use their web interface for mail checking. the site is coded in such a way as to cause the screen reader cursor to reset to the top of the page before I even get down to the inbox. Quite a number of us blind computer users have tried to petition yahoo, but that company seems to be indifferent to the havoc they are causing. Because of this, a lot of blindness (and linux related) mailing lists are moving elsewhere.
So far, I haven't seen any bounces, but then I haven't posted to the list much. -eric On Apr 12, 2014, at 8:39 PM, Brian Cluff wrote: > We run our own mailing list servers so it definitely can't be blamed on a for > profit entity.
