Why spammers suck #163412

Think finding the real messages among the spam as you look over your mail is hard? Try doing it when you’re listening to your mail.

Blind users are finding that they are spending disproportionately more time sorting through their junk e-mail than their sighted colleagues. That’s because sighted users can simply scan large batches of messages for that one important piece of mail, whereas blind users must listen to the subject line of each message before they know whether it’s spam or not.
