Hi Frank, Many thanks for your reply. I had wondered that. It makes a change for me to be able to read something that a sighted person can't. It's usually the other way round, smile.

Iam sure someone else can explain better than me. Frank but becauck and the back ground is black with XP Home, and Outlook 2000 I subscribe to Friends Reunited, and had an e-mail from them a few days ago. At the top of the message I read the sentence: "You have unread messages waiting for you". As I wasn't quite sure what I had to do on the site, I left things until my son came this evening. I brought the message up, and he said he couldn't see the top line of it which told me I had unread messages. I told him it was definitely there, and proved it by copying and pasting it into a Notepad file. On interrogating Jaws, in the e-mail message, Jaws said there was no font, and the colour was black on black. So, I am wondering why I could read the line with Jaws, but my son couldn't see it. Anyone any ideas, please? I wouldn't have thought it was a case of my still using Outlook 2000. With best wishes, Keith No virus found in this outgoing message.
