Re: [SM-USERS] How can I be sure if the Accessibility Preferences in Squirrel mail is activated and do you still develop on this project

Note that there are two SVN versions, 1.4.23 and 1.5.2.  1.4.23 will
have more working plugins available, 1.5.2 has some performance
advantages, though some of those have been back-ported.

They should be enabled by default if I recall correctly.  These are
implemented by the use of HTML accesskey attributes on various elements.
 In Firefox, for instance, the key must be pressed with the Shift and
Alt modifier keys.

To the left of each drop-down box containing those letters should be
descriptions for what the letter will be a shortcut to.  Those
descriptions do have label tags on them that point to each drop-down, so
it would be my hope that a screen reader would pick up on that and
present them accordingly.

I'd be pleased to help make any changes you feel may help make it more
usable for you.  I was unhappy with the keyboard modifier keys that were
needed for using accesskey and for version 1.4.23 I developed a plugin
(not released yet) that foregoes accesskey in favor of shortcuts
implemented in JavaScript.  I presume that's not as desirable for a
screen reader, but maybe a modern screen reader doesn't care, perhaps if
assisted by better labeling?

Yes and sort of.

This error indicates a discrepancy between the plugin's setup file and
the plugin_hooks.php file you generated by using the conf.pl script.
I'm not immediately certain how that would happen, but both this plugin
and the attachment_doc plugin I think were never updated to work with
version 1.5.2, and there is a chance that this is the reason they are
not activating correctly.  Even if you could get them to activate
correctly, there's some chance that they would fail to achieve their
functionality given the changes in version 1.5.2.

Snip - see above.  If you are intent on using these plugins with 1.5.2,
it would be possible to update them to work with that version.

Go to "Options" then "Display Preferences", and there should now be a
section (probably near the bottom of the page) for "Bug Reports" under
which is a single checkbox labeled "Show button in toolbar."  Check that
option and a "Bug" link should begin appearing along the top of the
content pane after the page reloads.

You can also just post bug reports to this or the squirrelmail-devel
mailing list.
