Brian's Mail list account
He last one had plain text at the start actually. I do know that sometimes if you use some company's web mail platforms, they often 'forget' to make a plain text version.
Normally its fine though. I do on old machines read email in plain text as it renders faster and I don't need the links most of the time. Brian

My e-mail program reads the messages correctly and since no one has complained, we can assume that others don't have problems reading your messages. If anyone complains, we can address the problem then.

I may have been running the feature on a really old Windows 98 machine at the time so my results may not be relevant. But I hope an interesting discussion results.

Interesting to know. I would wonder if the lag is still there in this age of speedier processors, etc. I don't know if it would be worth the trade-off if it would slow things down too much for on-the-fly filtering.

That is a useful feature if someone's program uses greater than signs for quoted material. I don't know how many programs don't use such signs. Windows Live Mail doesn't and I wonder if Outlook does. If neither of these programs use such signs, then a good deal of the usefulness of the feature is defeated. Also, I played with the feature many years ago. I don't recall if this might have been because I was using a very slow old computer at the time or not, but my recollection is that it moved through lines slowly, and thus caused annoying delays while waiting for the unfiltered material to be found.

For me, it's simple. If there are greater than signs at the top of a message, or some sort of header indicating that the originally quoted message is first, I've already lost interest in what the reply is, so I've already deleted and moved on. If I only got a few emails a day, and/or it was on a group I would be a moderator of, that would be different. I agree that a feature like this would be good for NVDA. I never knew WinEyes had such a feature, and I've never heard of any JFW users talking about it, so doubt it's there for them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@... <mailto:steve@...> > To: <nvda@nvda.groups.io <mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io> > Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2017 9:22 AM Subject: Re: Admin: Re: [nvda] How much does the eloquence and vocalized voice pack cost
Hi Sean,
Window-Eyes has a great feature called Line Filter. You can tell it to ignore all lines with a string of chars at the beginning of the line. So when anyone bottom posts, I just switch on line filtering and it ignores lines beginning with the greater than sign.
I don't know if JAWS has it, but it would be nice to have it in NVDA too.
All the best

Well I really do wander if they find it easier to bottem post.
Its not blind vs sighted as such its probably the way they like their screens.
For example I have family which really like their threaded messages threaded.
They like to see the old messages first so they know what they have sent and
they can't remember what they typed previously.
For us, I guess that would work, except we can't scroll to the start of the
new content as such like this because our software just won't do it in a easy way.
For the sighted its a quick mouse wheel flip my family do it all the time, they do it without thinking just like breathing.
For us, we rely on our keyboards and screen readers, and to be honest I never look at what is below if I don't need to which could be a disadvantage.
We also have to get used to the > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> signs the lower and lower down we get down the message tree.
So for us top posting is the most accessible.
However we probably do lose some info over what was before.
I can't say I have responded to a message without reading below first.
I never do so I loose things.
For me I respond to something if I know what it is or if its 1-2 days old maybe but I could be out of thread by the time I respond to a huge email list.
A lot of techs I know thread and folder cluster their mail.
A few friends don't do this, for myself coming from dos, I read and delete all my mail.
If its important I save it in a text file with the message in it and whatever.
If the email database corrupts or the system crashes or something I reformat
and move on.
My data is mostly backed up, it includes text of important files and the like.
I realise I will get bit in the ass one day but I barely have to deal with important stuf and now with dropbox it means I can continue as I am till the
world ends.
On the other hand, rarely have I needed the net during a system outage that
is critical.
Or at a critical point.
But I guess I am lucky.
Being a freelance tester means I just don't get the work I usually get and that means I have time to waste if I so choose which wouldn't be if I had to
bother with critical data all the time.

Nah, I think it's more related to vi vs. sighted. On all vi lists, top posting is the thing, on most sighted lists, bottom posting is it. I've seen folks yelled at multiple times for not bottom posting on several sighted lists. But on at least one list I'm on, (thankfully, one I don't post on very often), folks get all bent out of shape if you top post. It's bottom post, or not at all in their opinion. A complete waste of time in my opinion, but nobody asked me.

Please don’t bottom post. Post at the top of the messages. If you bottom post, people won’t see your reply. They won’t wade through five or more messages to finally find yours and many people think you mistakenly sent a blank message.
If you need help in how to top post, ask here.

Hi Jim,
Yes there is a legal add on from Code Factory that comes with both Eloquence and Vocalizer. Disclaimer: We do sell it. Please feel free to contact me privately if interested.
We also have SAPI 5 voices for both, again, both perfectly legal.
Thanks.

Hello,
Forgive me if I have misunderstood, but surely there cannot be a genuine NVDA add on for the voices which I wil not mention as they are a banned topic? Code factory Vocaliser may be legal, but not the other, I had to pay for my Vocaliser voices and they cost me about "£70 years ago, these are now available as a stand alone item and not tied to NVDA. For those who just cannot afford extra voices, the Microsoft ones are quite good and are, of course, free with the Microsoft system.
As to the illegal subject, why anyone would want these outdated voices beats me. Take care.

As I stated in an email a few weeks ago when this person started posting on the list, he will continue posting nonsensical messages, off topic messages, and violate list rules until he is removed. He apparently doesn't pay much attentionn to messages in reply to his questions and will continue repeating things over and over until stopped. Moderation is the least of possible solutions to this situation.
Good luck Nimer and Gene!

From the moderator:
I don't know why he is doing it and we have no basis to assume anything. I doubt it is intentional rudeness. I would say that people should simply not comment on any post by Mr. Chikodinaka Nickarandidum Oguledo unless he asks a new and useful question. Repetitive questions, the same question four times in a month or even twice in a month or six months, should simply be ignored.
It is not useful to have a debate on list about Chikodinaka Nickarandidum Oguledo or his posts. If such unproductive debates continue, I shall lock all threads where such debates begin.
If Mr. Chikodinaka Nickarandidum Oguledo is too outrageous, I shall moderate him. Moderation means that I shall see every post from him and have to approve each post before it reaches the list. If I do that, I shall simply not approve repetitive questions nor questions that in any way, promote sites where illegal activity occurs. .
I'm explaining all this because Mr. Chikodinaka Nickarandidum Oguledo sent a post yesterday in which he seemed to indicate that he didn't know what being moderated means and because there may be other list members who don't know.
I am not the list owner and if he wishes to deal with this matter differently, that is what he will do as list owner. I've stated what I will do unless the owner wishes something different to be done.
Also, on further consideration, I've changed my mind about how long moderation will last. It will last at least two months and whether it is lifted will depend on the kinds of posts Mr. Chikodinaka Nickarandidum Oguledo sends for approval.
