Hi everyone,
I just signed up for a gmail account. I have messages in my inbox, but can't figure out how to open them.
In hotmail, the messages show up as links when I use Jaws, but in gmail, they don't.
I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Switch to the basic html view, and u will be all set there. I forget where it is located on the screen, but just do a virtual find for basic and you will find the link.

Sounds like you already figured this out. But for your future reference, the link to switch to basic HTML is at the top of the page. It actually says, "If using a screen reader, we recommend you switch to basic HTML."
