The simple solution is to download it and read about it.  It is a collection
of web utilities to make browsing easier and more powerful.  You can select
text effortlessly without using Windows selection, can download web pages,
access lots of information à la JAWS Research, and solve CAPTCHAs as I
described before.

I'm familiar with Solona and webvisun but what is IEMAX?

Nowadays, CAPTCHA's are very easy for me.  I use Solona from
http://solona.net.  On top of that, I use Jamal Mazrui's IEMax. 

http://EmpowermentZone.comIEMax.exe 

With IEMax installed, when I come to a CAPTCHA, I hit shift+Ctrl+0.  My
Solona login information is filled in and the image is automatically sent
there for the person to process it and tell me what it is.  I get messages
updating the situation, until I am told that the CAPTCHA has been copied to
the clipboard for me to paste into the appropriate box.  This all works with
Firefox as well.

A coworker has told me of a site called Salona that works with Internet
Explorer. I don't know the exact address, but am sure that you could do a
Google search for it. Also, for what it's worth, have you considered running
all of your personal mail through a web based email service, like Gmail or
Yahoo? This would give you access anywhere and keep you from being tied to
the inaccessible provider's site.
