Before I ask my question, I would like to thank the developers for
continuing to develop and support Seamonkey. I really love this
program and am so thankful that it exists.
I am a blind Seamonkey user using the NVDA screen reader for speech
output. I've noticed a change in the way NVDA reads the status bar in
the email client starting with Seamonkey 2.21.
In prior versions of Seamonkey, the status bar would simply speak the
amount of unread messages followed by the total amount of messages in
the currently open mail folder.
Now, I notice that there are additional buttons or icons in the status
area which are being read by NVDA. When I press NVDA's status line
hotkey, I'll hear
browser, mail newsgroups, composer, etc. and then I hear the amount of
messages. This may be OK from a visual perspective, but it presents a
lot of unnecessary wording that I'd prefer to eliminate. Is there an
option to remove these buttons, either within Preferences or the
about:config option?
I've also noticed a change in 2.21 which I appreciate. My screen
reader is able to provide ascending tones when there is a progress bar
which is indicating the percentage of a task in the process of being
completed, such as when you copy files from one folder to another. In
older versions of Seamonkey, I used to hear these tones when mail was
being downloaded, but at some point this capability disappeared. I've
noticed that it's back in 2.21, meaning that I now hear ascending
tones when mail is being downloaded, giving me an approximate
indication of how much mail has been received. This is really wonderful!!
Again, thank you for seamonkey. It's a wonderful program.

Yes, I concur, I as another nvda screen reader user using sea monkey
think your mail program-browser is very convenient, and I am very happy
it’s still being kept alive.
