Well, I am pretty sure at least once one or more of the changes that
would be likely to break accessibility were brought up, but this could
be a synthesized memory as I read about Ubuntu from a variety of
sources...smiles.
Of course this would not mean that things would be completely
inaccessible, but...

I don't think anyone ever said that accessibility will be broken in
releases between 12.04 and 14.04. Canonical is focusing their
accessibility efforts on the LTS releases, since there are so few
resources available to work on accessibility. This doesn't mean that the
interim releases will be broken or won't be accessible. It just means
that the effort is to ensure that the LTS releases will have the best
accessibility experience. Ubuntu is open source, and anyone can
contribute to it, so there's always a chance that with more resources,
the interim releases could get more attention with respect to accessibility.
Fair enough, but it works more or less fine in 12.10 contrary to official
expectations, so I thought the same might be true of 13.04.
Please do not email me separately, I am on the mailing list, which is
how I saw your email in the first place.
My intent was not to email you separately, this list's default reply-to
functionality just happens to work differently than 99% of the mailing
lists to which I am currently subscribed. As such, I often reply rather
than reply-to-list, which I think is the common expectation for someone
conducting a list discussion and wanting to continue it on same.
Even more problematic for Outlook users since there is no such thing as a
reply to list feature, and reply to all just adds everyone's email address
in the thread to the to field.
I'm not sure what lists y'all are on, but half of the lists I'm on
behave this way, so I always use the reply to list or reply to all
feature in my email client.
Well, I've managed to ween myself off of all but a few lists and things
may have changed on average over the last couple of years: but, This
list's interaction with email clients re replies is not something I have
encountered often.
The reply to all option in my email client
generally just includes the list address and the originator so it's easy
enough to delete the originators address.
IMHO, it's the responsibility of the poster to know how their email
client works and how the list is set up.
Agreed, but it's easy to forget what for some is a non-standard behavior, or
forget to check if a first time poster.
I went back and reposted a reply to a list, maybe this one, recently, wouldn't
do so most likely if I felt the msg was not of much interest to the group.
(Very subjective of course.)
Wow, just to show how easy it can be to not reply as one normally would: even
knowing how this group works/having known so for quite some time, and even
after having just read/replied to this conversation, I _almost sent this reply
to Christopher and not to the list right now!
