Welcome to the Emacspeak Mail List and Archive

PLEASE NOTE: The first of three system maintenance outages has been completed. The second is on 5 October 2026 at 21:45 UTC.

October 5th 2026

We have a required reboot on October 5th 2026 at 21:45 UTC. The system should be back up shortly after that.

After almost 25 years being hosted at the Computer Science Department at Vassar College, on February 26th 2021 the emacspeak mailing list moved to a temporary home on emacspeak.org. Now it has found a perminent home at emacspeak.net. The mailing list has been upgraded and is offically running from https://mail.emacspeak.net.

To join the list follow the instructions available on our how to subscribe page.
