Moderated Jaws and links within emails
|
Madison Martin
Hi all,
I've had an issue on and off that when I click on a link within an email I'm taken to the subject of the email and not the webpage that the link is for. This is extremely annoying especially when it happens with verification emails, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future? I've tried changing the format that email messages are displayed in, but this hasn't made any difference, I know someone told me that when I'm on a link I can bring up the context menu and get something that says open hyperlink or something, but I've tried this and have not yet found such an option. I'm running the latest versions of Jaws, Edge, Office 365 and Windows 10. Look forward to any help anyone can provide me, everyone's help is always much appreciated!!!! Thanks Madison |

I've had this happen a few times. The way I've gotten the link to work is press Encert+F7 as if you were on a web page rather than an email.

After you get the message that if you bring up the email in your browser, the security settings may be different from your email program, the message will open in the browser. 4. Now you can TAB to the link, just as if it were a web page. You shouldn't be taken anywhere else except for the new web page to which the link is directing you.

This is extremely annoying especially when it happens with verification emails, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future? I've tried changing the format that email messages are displayed in, but this hasn't made any difference, I know someone told me that when I'm on a link I can bring up the context menu and get something that says open hyperlink or something, but I've tried this and have not yet found such an option. I'm running the latest versions of Jaws, Edge, Office 365 and Windows 10. Look forward to any help anyone can provide me, everyone's help is always much appreciated!!!! Thanks Madison |

friend sent me several Dropbox links, all of which I could open either by press enter on the link or using the context menu to open the link. But there was just one in the whole list which, when I hit enter on the link, took me to the subject line and when I tried again, looking in the context menu, I couldn't actually find the option to open the link. As this was just one of about a dozen links, I assumed the sender hadn't entered the details properly. Alison -----Original Message-----

then it's a matter of right clicking the link and entering on "copy link location" or something to that affect, open a browser and pressing control+l or alt+d, and control+v to paste the link address and pressing enter.

Van Lant, Robin
Sometimes, especially with links to Webex or Zoom conference meetings, I find it helpful to right arrow a couple times so that my focus is in the text of the link, not just at the beginning, then the context menu options are there.
