Re: Issue reading HTML email in Thunderbird

Yes I had this issue in another email platform with mail newsletters generated by my local thetre and Londoncouncils, both I think used mail Chimp or something. This made all the graphics links have no text or instead have a several line long pointless unhelpful tag.

Yes I raised this as well. also a person who was hard of hearing said there was not enough lf in the sound for focus mode and it was quiet. also the start and end sounds need to be a little longer as it is hard to decide if they are rising and falling with such a short sound.

I did put up some alternatives derived from the new sounds but nobody in authority commented or has changed them. Perhaps you could make a new issue about it and I'll add my thoughts as well?

Re: how do I download messages from the imap server?
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Google is a bit of an odd ball though. I've not the foggiest how, for example one might do the same on bt or virgi webmail to get imap to work how you want it to. I can recall that simply copying stuff to the spam folder on google would in effect make sure all stuff like that went to spam.

I'll say it again, it's best to set up message filtering for IMAP on your IMAP server side, regardless of the provider. It's a part of the protocol and it's on the server side so that the filtering you do and the folders you create are automatically propagated across all devices you might ever use to access your e-mail. It saves you having to do this work again when you get a new computer, for instance, because it's all done on the server side.

It just needs a NVDA copy installed on the remote computer. I log into the remote system via remote desktop, hit control-alt-n and then I can manage the remote computer. Windows remote desktop sends the sound back to me, since windows remote desktop deals with sound redirection as well. You can switch between the remote desktop and your own desktop by pressing control-alt-pause and also the clipboard is being transferred between local and remote computer.

Queueing of notification announcements
Jacob Kruger
This is a minor thought, but, for example, if while doing a read all on the contents of a mail that have opened up in thunderbird, it may still be downloading mails in the background, and will then interrupt speech to announce that I have received new mails.
As in, it would be nice if that announcement could be queued for speaking out when current bit of reading has completed, or is interrupted? And, yes, at times this might not be suitable, if you wanted an announcement to take priority, but, not sure how that could be controlled/handled.

Re: NVDA and Remote Desktop

I get as far as entering the ip address of a computer within my workgroup, pressing enter on the connect button and it opens a window which NVDA announces as 'Input capture window' then NVDA shuts up, I can't get any interaction with the window, so don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

I've been doing some checking, and I believe this will work. Go to the system tray and from there arrow over to the speakers button. Once there press the context menu button and arrow down to the sounds option and press enter on that. If you've ever been in the sound schemes tree view, you will recognize it. From here, you can tab over to the list of sound events to see if the mil notification sound is active or not. if it's not, you can assign the windows default sound to play, or browse for the sound of your choice. If the default sound is there, you can test it to see if it works, and if so, apply it. If it doesn't function properly, try to reassign it. If that doesn't work, test out a sound of your choice. If you have a sound library of custom sounds, use one of those. Hopefully this helps. I'm going to be on the road for the holiday, but I will check in later to see how things are going.
