Re: Fw: Afternoon Update: Accuser Details Lewd Behavior by Cain

No, Patrick, I want everyone to be able to read every email; I want them all 
to be accessible.   I could read yours only by setting to plain text and I 
had to go to notepad to write this reply.  Afterwards I will reset to rich 
text.

My idea of accessinility is to make sure that the sender does not disable 
the adjustments in the readers software, a sort of "if you can't help, at 
least get out of the way" sort of thing.

Eye readers, those who still read with their eyes but not well, need only 
two adjustments >
For poor acuity we need enlargement with word wrap to keep the copy on the 
screen.
For poor contrast sensitivity we need choice of font for incoming text.
That's all.  That is not much to ask. It is not to have senders add 
anything, just not to spoil it.  I would like those who are concerned with 
accessibility to include emails in their interests.

When I get good and bad from the same sender, I think it appropriate to let 
others know and to ask for help to find the reason.   If we find the reason 
and pass it around it will help others.

 George
