Sending "plain text" messages insures that everyone can access the discussion.

| Quoting previous messages sparingly helps people using speech and/or large print software read your contribution more
efficiently.
|
| When forwarding a message, avoid placing a > in front of each
line. That way, people using screen readers will not hear
"greater than" at the start of each new line. One way to leave the > out is to simply cut the text you want to forward and
paste it into a new message. Many email software packages will also allow you to specify what happens when you forward a
message.

| Substituting text (e.g. "<grin>") for smileys (i.e. punctuation used to create the appearance of a smiling face)
makes your smiley accessible to speech users. |
