My wife gave me a hint:
Although I was unable to access the links from within my e-mails, she was
simply able to double click the link and the site would open.
You can use jaws to left double click the link as follows:
Route jaws to pc then cursor around until you find the link then simply press
the left mouse button twice quickly.
On my machine, at least, this has the same affect as a double left mouse
click and the web site opens every time.
This action became necessary only about 6 weeks ago--I don't know why exactly
except it does appear to be some kind of security issue. I believe in my case
it is a McAfee-related update to their program but it could also be microsoft
or i/e 7 related as the extra steps seem to be associated with I/E 7 but then
there are constant hot fixes being downloaded and installed plus anti-virus
updates so difficult to pin down exactly what caused links not to open from
within e-mails.
I hope my solution works for you.
Try having a sighted person double click on the link and see if that takes
you to the web site.

Good evening
I use Jaws 4.5 and Internet Explorer (6), my operating system being Windows
98SE. I'm experiencing difficulties in accessing links from e-mails, for
example links within e-mails from the BBC news service open but Jaws tells me
that the page is blank (I know that this is not the case as text is on screen).
On going into the BBC site I don't experience such problems and I'm able to
read information. Can anyone advise on what is happening here please? Is Jaws
4.5 compatible with Internet Explorer (6)?
Thanks
Kevin
