Subject: bug#1305: Please disable the audible bell by default, to avoid discouraging newbies in crowded offices and elsewhere

   Hi Xavier,

   Re. users with vision loss:  They need a screen reader (Emacspeak
   provides that) or a magnifier utility.  But why do they also need
   beep-on-error?

What if the screen reader is not working correctly ? The visible
bell could be used to check that something, at least, is working.

Regards

	Xavier
