When the cursor or the focus is on the attachment, hit insert A. This sometimes does not work however, depending on the version of JAWS and perhaps upon the manner in which the attachment was created. Even if the attachment opens, if it is a word document, you will have to hit enter when JAWS announces ok, and then you will be told that JAWS does not support the particular view of the document. Then you need to go to the view menu and hit enter on Normal. Then you can read the document.
A better approach, especially if you want to save the attachment, is that once you know there is an attachment go to the file menu and scroll down to "save attachment." Hit enter. Whatever name has been given to the attachment will appear. Then type in the drive and directory where you want the attachment to be saved, how you want the attachment to be named and the file extension. For example: C:\research\election2008.doc Check to be sure you are using the correct file extension. For example, if the attachment is a .pdf document, save it as a pdf file, then go to where it is saved and convert it to word or text by using a conversion program. Respectfully, Russell J.
