[IL-Talk] An Important Announcement from President Riccobono' s Notebook

Wed Jul 1 14:52:16 UTC 2020

Hi all,

The workaround Michal provided does work.  You can also try the following
and that worked for me.  Open the e-mail and move the cursor to the link.
If you have messages set to display in html the link should be highlighted.
Press the applications key.  That's the first key to the left of the right
control key.  Press down arrow until your screenreader says 'open hyperlink'
and press enter.  This should open the link in the default browser you may
have set to open links from within e-mails.

If you have messages set to display as plain text then you will need to
highlight the link, open your favorite browser, move the cursor to the
address bar, press control plus v to paste the link text, and then press
enter to open the page.  I can't remember how well JAWS reads e-mail
displayed as html but this is possible with NVDA.  I hope this works.  If
anyone has problems I'm happy to help.  Just send me an e-mail off-list.

Thanks,
Dan

Hello everyone,
I apologize for the link not working. I do believe that Michal sent an

Denise, I could not get the link to work; did you or anyone else experience
that?

Hello all,

I want to share the following exciting news from President Riccobono' s
Notebook:

"Dear Fellow Federationists,

Two weeks, just two weeks, until we kick off our most dynamic convention
ever. It is hard to believe that we will not be gathering in person. It is
even harder to believe how quickly we have reworked and built a new
convention format for 2020. I have examined the registration numbers, and
you are going to be blown away. The tremendous support and growth in our
movement is because you have led the way in reaching out and building during
this challenging and critical time.

Here is the link you have been anticipating: the agenda for the 2020 Annual
Convention of the National Federation of the Blind can be found at
<https://www.nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention/2020-national-conventi
on-agenda>
https://www.nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention/2020-national-conventio
n-agenda. This is the HTML version of the agenda and it does not yet include
all of the Zoom meeting ID links. There will be many versions of the agenda
to follow, but we wanted you to have the agenda text as early as possible.

I anticipate being with all of you at the Rookie Roundup on July 7. Please
plan to be there."
