[nabs-l] E-Mail Restored To My Control

[Mauricio Almeida]

hello courtney,

in what step did you find that blind people needed help with this?
I remember setting this  up alone, so if you would share with me where you had problems, (i don't remember the entire process by heart) I would be glad to help you figure out a solution.

I am glad you got you e-mail back.

thanks
