Hi folks,

Here is a tip I was given many years ago and it still works.

If I find a link in an email but JAWS does not announce the word link, I 
place the cursor on the first t of http and press enter, then I move the 
cursor up or down a line then back to the link, the link is now announced 
and I can press enter to activate it.

Hope this helps,

Pete H.
