Brian, thank you for your very helpful reply.
I certainly now see the sense of these, but for blind people they're a real
torment, aren't they.
Best wishes,
Keith

The six character code is called a Catch Ya and is there to prevent
automated programs from sending e-mail to the e-mail address.
It is not text, but is a graphical representation of text, so the automated
programs will have trouble using it, which would defeat the purpose of it
being there.
JAWS cannot read graphic representation of text.
Try sending your e-mail to the Webmaster of the site concerned, explaining
why you cannot enter the six character Catch Ya code and ask him to forward
your message to the department of the site concerned.
Some sites have a button for audio representation of the Catch Ya if you
cannot read it, others don't.
The spoken audio is often fuzzy sounding to help prevent speech recognizers
from decoding it and entering the correct code.
Good luck!
Brian
