Are you only doing a single click with capslock 8? Does it work if you simulate
a double click by holding down Capslock and pressing 8 twice quickly?
Cheers

Subject: following links in an e-mail
Hi Everybody
I am using Jaws 8; Windows XP Home and Outlook 2000.
When I receive an e-mail containing links and this e-mail is in plain text
format, I am unable to follow the links directly from out of the e-mail by
entering on it or doing a left mouse click (caps lock +8 - I am working on a
laptop).
However, a sighted user can do it by doing a double left click with the
mouse.
If I receive an e-mail containing links and the e-mail is in html format, I
have no problem accessing the links from the e-mail.
Now, my questions:
1 Can anybody please explain to me why a sighted user can follow links in
an plain text e-mail, but I cannot do it with Jaws?
2 Except for using copy and paste, is there a work around for me to follow
the links when the e-mail is in plain text format?
Thanks.
Renette
