[pmmail-list] harsh criticism of the groups feature

Hello, all, this probably won't make sense to many of you on here, as
you are sighted users, but I've had more trouble with the groups
feature of pm mail.  I can add a member to a group, but when I delete a
member from a group, in the members rich edit box of the created group,
and try to send a message to the group, I get a message back that is
unbalanced, because greater than or less than signs in the message are
displaced, somehow, forcing me to get rid of all names, quotes, and
greater than and less than signs for each address, and making sure that
each address of the group is on a separate line.  I wish there were a
feature to make the group list, icons like in my computer, or windows
explorer, with an open rich edit box button, if you need to actually go
in to the members rich edit box.  Why can't pm mail add the greater
than and less than signs, etc., when a particular message is being
sent, rather then when the member is being added to the group?  Also,
this may not be something that the programmers can do anything about,
but our screen readers, particularly window-eyes, doesn't accurately
report the displayed names and addresses in the rich edit members box,
many times, when I down arrow, I'll think that a name is on a separate
line from the address, but find that this isn't the case, because when
I press the end key, and right arrow, I get no default sound.  Maybe
this is a problem of all e-mail programs, but can't someone do
something about making the groups function of pm mail easier to
navigate?  Thanks.
