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.
