I've noticed a problem with the beta where the tab key doesn't move to links
in email messages with OE. When I move the cursor over the link, Jaws beta
doesn't say "link" either. I have to bring up the links list first then
escape back to the message. Then Jaws sees the links in the message with
the regular navigation controls. I don't know if this was fixed in the beta
update because I haven't been able to get that yet.

Hi Stephen,
Active links within an email would be normal, in most cases. At least
that's how it is for me. In other words, this isn't some option in Outlook
Express, but rather just a normal thing. If a link within an email message
area is active, Jaws ought to say "link" before reading the text of the
link. If it doesn't, something's the matter, and I lack the expertise to
discuss that. By the way, some folks may suggest that your links are not
active because the email is in plain text or because it's in Rich Text or
HTML, and that it has to be changed to one or the other. But this isn't the
answer.
by the way, there's only one thing where you could be needlessly confused,
here. that's if you're typing or pasting links into email you're composing
yourself, and then trying to click on the link. That won't work. The link
doesn't become live until you send the email.
Good luck.
