I believe the Jaws related Microsoft Outlook information below is correct, but I'm 99% sure it no longer applies as of J14 or Jaws15. Newer versions of Jaws made many changes as to how HTML mail is presented to the user.
For those having problems with Jaws reading your email presented in HTML, you should consider changing how your email messages are presented to you. If you change email to be shown as plain text you will be able to read your mail just like it is shown in Outlook Express or WLM. Best of all, you will still be able to press enter on links to have their respective webpages open. Please let me know if you are serious about making this change, and I'll elaborate. :) Joseph the free tech guy! ----- Original Message ----- From: "TheHangMan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2014 7:01 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] E-mail in Outlook 2010 is being read abnormally Hi, I have used the info below, which I saved from Freedom: In Outlook 2007 and 2010, the way HTML e-mails are read has been changed by Microsoft. In outlook 2010 with JAWS 12 and 13, use the keystroke Insert+shift+w to read messages in the internet Browser. Again this change was made by Microsoft. The keystroke: alt + H +X +V reads in Outlook 2007. It causes the message to be read from the internet browser.

It will announce randomly Document 1 through Document 12 so far. After that I hear if I have any problems reading, then I should use the web browser. What I would like to get rid of is the Document announcement because after this is read, then I must manually go through the fields again to get to the message, in order to start it to read. All of these extra steps wastes so much time each day, considering the volume of e-mail messages I read. What can I do to eliminate all of this and just start the message reading at the top normally, without additional confusion? Thank you for any help.
