TSGL: Mail client for very old Oldies

[Tilman Brandl]

ED,

thanks for for your supportive answer. And also for the ZoomTex idea .....

Later: ....... I've had a look at ZoomTex (found a hijacked website) - ouch! 
Their pricetag is quite something - 500-600 or so ! Guess I'll first try to 
use Win XP's onboard tools for the visually impaired.

<no lecturing, just answer the questions as they come. >

Yep. I've had time to adapt to that attitude by now. ;-)

Thanks
Tilman
