Robert,
One more idea: Just in case you hadn't thought of this. When you're in
Outlook Express and your browser's already open-- let's say you were already
at some Web page or other, and decided to go back into OE and open an email
containing active links you decided to click on-- then if you read the
status line while you're right there, in OE(Insert PgDn on the num pad on a
desktop with Jaws), maybe you'll hear the URL that you've clicked on, which
shows news that your clicking on the link did start loading the Web page.
But to get to it in this scenario, you have to Alt Tab out of OE and into
the browser again, whereupon if I'm right, you'll find yourself on the Web
with the page either already fully loaded or, if it's loading a little
slowly, still working its way onto the screen. Another check of the status
line now would tell you what's going on in that regard.
I hope you understand the situation I'm describing. If it helps demystify
this frustrating issue, fine. If not, sorry.

For what it's worth, Robert, I'd like to suggest the following steps, just
for experimentation:
First, uninstall IE 7, and your system should automatically go back to IE 6.
When you've done this, open the same email and see if you can get to the
link the old way. Have your wife present to give you any visual info.
If this doesn't work, try uninstalling Jaws 8 and go back to Jaws 7 or 7.10
and try the link again and see what happens.
I suggest these steps because I haven't yet purchased Jaws 8, and I'm
wondering whether your problem is caused by Jaws 8 or IE 7.
It would also be interesting to know if others on the list are experiencing
this problem.

Subject: Activating a link while in an open message
Possibly after the installation of I/E 7, I am no longer able to connect to
a website through a link in an open e-mail message.
Html mode is checked and when I click on a link by pressing enter, the hard
drive moves and it appears as if the website is trying to open but after
about 5 seconds I am still in the e-mail with the cursor positioned on the
link.
I have found a work-around for this problem as follows:
I route jaws to PC and do a double left mouse click and the link functions
correctly by opening the appropriate website.
I miss the ability to not simply be able to click on a link to go the
desired website.
On the screen my wife tells me that a little square of dotted lines forms
around the link to be opened and the little hand disappears. This of course
means nothing to me or to her but I provide this tidbit of info just in case
it means something to somebody as an explanation of what may be happening
here.
I have spoken with some teckie folks and they too have been stimied by this
one so if anyone on the list has any ideas, they would be very much
appreciated.
Thanks in advance and a very happy New Years!
