Hi Donny,

try reading the message in plain text only.

If you do this, messages come with the text separate from whatever
attachments are attached to the e-mail.

I'm not sure if there's a way to switch back and forth from html to plain
text, but I know you can switch from plain text to html.

If you are in a message, whether you have the message open or closed and are
reading the message, either on it's own window, or in the preview pane, you
can hit the key combination of alt-shift-H and this will turn a plain text
message into an html message.

Having said that, I have my message set to display in plain text only, so if
there's a link that someone sends me, and it's embedded in the message, I
hit the key combination stated above, and Jaws will come back and tell me
how many links are in the message and I can then arrow through it like a web
page.

This is beneficial in several ways, but the  most important ways are:

1. Problems such as yours don't occur unless I do it to myself, so if
there's an embedded message, song, attachment or virus, worm or trojan
horse, I can choose to activate it, rather than it doing it automatically.

2. I don't get bogged down by links in a message, and in some cases, Jaws,
or rather Outlook Express will filter them out completely, as they are
extras attached to the message.

3.  The best way for a spammer to spam you is to send out millions of
e-mails to millions of e-mail accounts, with tags embedded in them, so that
when the person opens a message that is tagged, your e-mail program sends
out information to the computer or server that the message was read, and
that means the e-mail account is active and they can feel free to spam you
at their leisure.  This also has the advantage of my not having to press
extra keys on the keyboard to read a message, as I can preview the message
in the preview pane without any worry that I'm going to open up a virus or
something dangerous like that.

4.  Viruses can come disguised as many things, from pictures, to movies,
from music to hyperlinks.

In plain text mode, only the text of the link is displayed, not the hyper
part of it, so if there is a virus embedded in that link, and you happen to
click on it, you're in very little danger, and in fact, you can scan the
link with an anti-virus program or something like that before you click on
it.

Anyway, that's just my two cents worth, and this is my preference and
choice.

some people may tell you differently because they've experienced life in
different directions than I have, so take it with a grain of salt.

In the end, it's up to you what you choose to do.

Hope this helps.

Victor
