Tony, that's because you've changed the message back to html. If you are
reading emails in plain text, the links won't work.

Flor,
Now when I "uncheck all messages in plain text"
I always then get hitting on a link to work for me in OE, that's
all!
So I'm happy with that for as long as it continues to so do for me.
I'm only trying to learn and hopefully pass on a little of what I
know too.
I'll finish my contribution to this thread now!
Thanks

Tony,
even after you have unchecked the "read all messages in plain text"
option, clicking or pressing enter on a link within an email in OE
WON'T
ALWAYS WORK. that's part of the story as well. I have had numerous
experiences of it. One solution that works then - sometimes, anyway
-
is to route JAWS to PC cursor, and then with JAWS cursor inside the
link
url press the NumPadSlash key twice or 'double-click'. However, the
simplest thing to do - when pressing enter doesn't work - is to use
the
JAWS links list feature and enter on or activate the desired link
from
there. If the link is shown in the JAWSKey+F7 list, it will work.
If
it is not shown there, then it was a matter of incorrect formatting
from
an original html link into plain text in the email one got. I trust
that with this, everything about it has by now been explicated.

Flor,
Thanks indeed for all that.
That doesn't work as you intimate in Outlook of course as we all
know
now!
Clicking on a revelant link provided in an email in OE then that
will
indeed work!
Wouldn't it be good if the Jaws folk &/or Microsoft could make it
that
you could click on a link in an email in Outlook to get us to a
site or
email address quickly?
Now if you had ever used outlook 2007 then that would set off
another
thread entirely! <grimmace>

Tony,
No, I don't have Outlook 2007. But I do have experience of links
in
plain text email messages that don't work when simply entered on
from
within the email, and where JAWSKey-F7 does identify the link and
thus
enables one to go there. The principle is much the same.

Flor,
Didn't have an email to check with in Outlook but I have no
problem
that
the Jaws and F7 command link will work
as described by The Mod himself!
I was talking of the 'read messages in plain text' option which
as
far
as I can see, is not in the options of Outlook!
Must make that perfectly clear!
Do you use Outlook 2007 for example?

Tony,
As I mentioned in my first reply, and as paul has written,
JAWSKey+F7
the list links feature will bring up the link and you can then
click
on
it. This should work in outlook 2007!

Hi Hazel,
As intrepid as ever I decided to venture in to my Outlook 2007
and
explored in there but nowhere in options and toolls is there to
do
what
you require! (perhaps elsewhere in there?
I unchecked the option in 'the read' page 'read message in plain
text'
and tried to activate the links feature but no joy either!
It said 'only when using the virtual cursor on the internet'.
I hope that someone can come up with the answer you want as I'd
now
like
to have that facility for when I start using Outlook possibly as
my
default email client in the future.
Outlook is supposed to be better than Outlook Express and so
should
bee
as it is a paid-for where OE is free.
OE is fine though for just sending/receiving emails.
As the demon mailer might say "I've given up, sorry it didn't
work
out!"
Regards
Tony

Hi, Tony,
Yes, I have used Outlook express in the past, but, I had to
change
to
ms outlook, to access an on-line course, which turned out to be
inaccessible. If you can understand why I switched, please let
me
know!!! Grin.
I will try to switch over, and that might iron the problem
out.
Smile. However, if there are any MS outlook users out there and
know
how to access links, please let me know the buttons to push.
Hazel Flannigan.

Hazel!
I myself will now stop digging! <smile>
I have Outlook but really only use OE!
I had that problem in OE and sorted it thankfully.
Yep it is great to be able to hit on a link that works there
in an
email that's for sure!
Flor may be using Outlook.

Hi, Flor, and Tony,
I have entered the MS outlook settings, and have clicked
onoptions.
However, the list of pages are different in my computer. I have
Preferences - e-mail settings, mail format, spellings, security
and
other. My operating system is Windows EXP. Does this make a
difference? Or am I sitting in the wrong area?
Any pointers will be valued.
Hazel.
