It sounds like you have xpsp2. The quickest way to get around this is to open the tools menu with alt+t from the oe main window, press o for options, ctrl+tab to the "read" tab, tab till you hear plain text radio button, arrow up or down to plain text and tab to apply, press space and press enter. It's best to use plain text but as the post for the fix for this mentions, this is a bit of a challenge to fix. You can alternatively though, hit the tab key once when you open a message and press jaws key+down arrow to read the message or use arrow keys to move and read through it.

Hi listers, I am trying to learn my new computer. It is Windows XP pro. Yesterday I set it up according to the JFWlite helpful hints page. This morning, in reading my e-mail, jaws would only read subject lines in messages. I had to tab to edit field and hit insert 2 on the num pad to make it work. How can I fix this? I am running Jaws pro, 5.1.383. I am currently writing to you on my old computer.
