[Nfbmt] Email Who uses what email software? And about our discussion list

[Rik James]

Hello list members.

I am curious.
What software do each of you use for your email?

Some folks may use Outlook. Some may use Windows Live Mail. Some may 
actually just use their internet browser and use webmail.  Some folks may 
use something else.  And do you maintain a list of Contacts within your 
email program?

I am starting a discussion on something else besides the NFB of Montana 
business here. But it is also useful I think if we share information and 
learn from each other so we can each know more about all of the various 
things we use to communicate. I can think of a variety of topics along those 
lines I'd like to discuss with us, or with others.

There maybe also other discussion lists that you might like to share with 
us.
If so, please provide the name of the list, what the list talks about, and 
the way to subscribe to it.

I know lots of you are using the new types of phones now, too. I have not 
yet gotten anything going on that. But maybe I will soon enough.
The whole Apple versus Android thing, and my reading of it, it always keeps 
me in a limbo land of indecision. That,  plus wondering what I can and would 
want to spend on a monthly basis on a phone.

Oh. I use Windows Live Mail 2011 for my personal email. I have several email 
addresses. I manage my email according to using an email address for 
specific types of communications and things I do. The 
montanarikster at gmail.com is the email address I use for this list. As well 
as some other lists. Other email addresses I may use for other things like 
my radio and concert stuff. I have one that I use for politics, too. It 
keeps me able to kind of pre-sort things. Windows Live Mail puts all of 
those accounts in a Tree View, so I can go to each of the accounts and then 
TAB over to the Inbox in that account.

I use WLM 2011 while using my JAWS screen reading software and a little bit 
of my remaining eyesight. It works pretty well, but there are things that it 
may not read, like who the email is from. So I will need to use the JAWS 
cursor for that.

I wonder if any of you have trouble seeing or hearing who an email is from, 
also.

You know if it is from this NFB of Montana Discussion list, it is being 
delivered to many others who may or may not be participating in the 
discussions that are held there. And when you hit Reply to that message it 
goes to all of those who are subscribed to the list.  This list is also 
called a Listserve. That is just a computer style of email list, as I 
understand it. I think that this list is administered by the NFB 
organization David Andrews, and our NFB Montana list moderator or List Mom 
as they like to call it, is still Dan Burke.

Okay. Thanks for listening. And I hope what I typed up above made some sort 
of sense. It is a crazy Friday here. And with baseball season over, you just 
never know who is going to catch those foul balls that keep coming this way, 
now do you? But I will keep my glove handy and mustard in stock.

Thanks.
