Moderated Attachments sent in the body of messages?

Hi all,

From what I understand there are two ways to send attachments.

The way we all do by attaching them to a message and another way where sighted people put for instances photos or files in the body of a message as images.

If someone puts files in the body of messages how can JAWS users see them?

If I get a message sent like this and open it on an iPhone then I’m told there are x number of images which are the attachments but opening the same message using either outlook or Thunderbird doesn’t give an indication of attachments.

TIA.

Hi Adam,

 

I am using Office 365, the Outlook program.  I do not know if what I suggest below works for other programs.

 

By trial and error, I have found that for most messages, if I set up a fake forward message on the message with the attachment, I can arrow to a link for the attachment.  I do not actually forward the message, just tab into the message body to find the link I need.  Once I do, I either open or save it for further handling.
