Horde/IMP Accessibility Issues

The problem which was mentioned yesterday about IMP requiring Javascript is one 
which will greatly limit the use of it.

Many government and organizations are required to make their web sites 
accessible to people who can not use the common interfaces.  The most obvious 
is a browser based on a text-to-speech system for a blind person.  I'm not 
aware of a text-oriented browser which can run Javascript, much less read text 
painted inside an image which runs a script.

It also means that IMP cannot be used in a PDA text screen through a telnet/SSH 
link, nor a WAP_phone-to-telnet link.
