[Athen] Gmail accessibility

[Jennifer Sutton]

Hello:

GMail, with the basic HTML interface, works fine with Window-Eyes 
6.1, so I presume that Google has built it so that it's not designed 
to work with only one screen reader.

I don't believe that it has all of the same features and 
functionality as the "normal" interface, however.

Setting up a GMail account with IMAP or POP access may be worth considering.

I wouldn't call the basic HTML interface perfect, but it's certainly usable.
