Dana,
I have the same complaint, and no solution. But I confess that when I read
your first post on Blind Tech, I wasn't sure what it was you'd found so
novel, as well as displeasing. Because I thought you were talking only about
actual links within emails or, also, within something like a Word document
where Jaws recognizes that a text string is a URL or an email address. All
I'd noticed is that the voice seemed annoying and obnoxious compared to
whatever it had sounded like before, plus that it announced the end of the
link as well as its mere existence. Which struck me as useless information.
So I went into the Jaws Window Options/voices/Individual voices menu and
toned down Glenn's shrill announcement a little bit.
but I've just copied a Los Angeles Times Op-Ed and pasted it into an Outlook
Express email message to send to a friend, and in navigating around it in
the course of pushing it down a bit so I could type a personal message above
it, I noticed to my bafflement that when my arrowing focused on just
ordinary elements that used to speak just as text, like the name of the
paper at the top of the article before the URL for the article page is
given, that was given the link/end link treatment, too, and those lines
aren't even links, so far as I'm aware. So this new "service" is worse than
annoying, it's also buggy. I think it's another issue to add to the list of
glitches I'm making in order to send FS a coherent report after a few more
days of using Jaws 9, which others are happily reporting no problems with,
but which is doing all kinds of strange stuff on my computer that I don't
even want to go into, now. It's nothing anyone on a list can help me
rectify. It's glitches and bugs and malfunctions.
Ack.

I asked the same question on BlindTech, yesterday. But I haven't gotten an
answer, so I'm asking here.
