And how many of those business, and what fraction of that software, addresses the vital issue of accessibility ? When I send an e-mail, there is not a blind computer user on this planet who does not have access to its contents, if it reaches him or her. 90+% of the HTML e-mails I receive are completely inaccessible to blind people : no "alt" attributes, no "longdesc"s, no accommodation whatsoever to those who do not have sight. That world is not for me. Philip Taylor _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
