Problem with Mailman

You are right about mailman.  I find I just have to count.  You are right,
it is embarrassing, and you are right, it happens in explorer.  I am glad to
hear that explorer isn't the only bad guy.  Can't blame Gates for this one,
unfortunately.  The pages in Mailman need alt-tags I suspect.  It bugs me
too.  I think the mailman developers could fix this easily with a few
alt-tags.  That is the only part of Mailman that is not as accessible as it
should

I am using mailman admistration for a listserv.  When I go to the page
where I can select what to do with messages that have been bounced for my
dconsideration, I get a series of options going like this: defer accept
reject or discard.  So far so good.  Unfortunately then i see 4 numbered
selections in Lynx which are not 1 2 3 4 but rather the sequencial links
which you might see on any web page in lynx.  I can guess at the right one
and hit enter on it, but does anyone know if there is anything being done
to allow a user to curser down and hit return on a text label so I could be
sure?  Is this bothering anyone else?

Oh yeah, don't blame it on lynx because internet explorer does the same
thing by listing the options and then checkboxes without lables.  I think I
get it right most of the time both in Windows and in Linux but it has
caused a couple of embarrassing moments with members of the listserv who
were not happy to hae their stuff rejected.
