Well, at least you've inspired them to think about it. I'm compiling a list
of complaints and glitches and bugs (oh, my!) that I'll be sending them
soon, and that will be among them. But I'll tell ya, it's not often I've had
terrible problems copying an email address or URL because I couldn't find
the end of it. If I got a little confused, I just arrowed rightward until I
figured out what must be the last few characters. I've never encountered an
email or URL that was "embedded" in the sense that it ran without a space
into the following text. If that's what they meant. I think their developers
must be Latvians who want to confuse the screen readerists, to confound us
so we can't forward our unholy agenda. Sorry. Private joke.

Dear Dana:
Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Support.
we will look into changing this behavior in a future version of JAWS but for
now about all you can do is change the message voice to the same voice of
Reed for the PC cursor. You will still hear the link, end link though it
will be in the PC cursor voice.
This is actually a feature to alert the user where the beginning and end of
a link is especially if it is embedded in the middle of text in case they
wish to copy and paste it without getting other text.
If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for choosing Freedom Scientific!
If replying to this message, Be sure to include all previous correspondence
pertaining to this issue so that we might more quickly assist you.

Subject: Link/End Link Announcement in OE Editor
