[Nfbmo] Best email system for screen readers

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

i suggested charter webmail as outlook express is difficult to get.
Dan has vista so he has internet explorer 8 or 7 at the least and outlook 
express stopped being included after explorer 6.
people may have to get used to windows live mail, read:
