don't change your setup, there is no reason to, anyone who says so  is not 
being truthful or has been deceived. 

I've used O.E. from the beginning on XP, and still am, have always used html 
mail and have had my mail start doing what yours is, once, and a repair of jaws 
fixed it. 

this Email was done in html format in fact as is all of them I have put out 
here for several years now with little trouble

I do a lot of testing though, and repair my jaws whenever needed

  I tried the first suggestion but, I cant do alt o for some reason.  But I can 
put in txt only but I like to have the links.  It is weird, it just started 
doing that!  I remember there was an option to read messages as in the format 
in which they were sent but, I cant remember where that was!  I think if I 
uncheck that box, if it is checked, maybe it will solve the problem.  Thanks

    Is your window maximized?

    Also when in the message, Alt-o for the Format menu, then arrow down to 
encoding. If it's not on Western, give that a try, as well. 

    Whenever I get a message that is Unicode, I can never read it. These 
messages say "Unicode" in the title bar, so that gives me a clue.

    Another way to ensure that all messages will be read as plain text 
regardless of the format in which they were created:

    Tools/Options
    Read Page
    Check the "Read all messages as plain text"

    The downside of this is that if you receive messages with links, I think 
you cannot click on them to launch.

      Hello, when ever I type a message using outlook express and go back to 
read the message, jaws gets stuck and keeps repeating the same thing over and 
over. I have to keep clicking on the text in the message to make jaws read the 
text properly! It is kind of hard because I cant see where the mouse is! Any 
ideas how to fix jaws from doing this?  I have windows xp-pro and jaws 10.  I 
read all my messages in html not txt.   Thanks Heather
