Thanks for this. The e-mail is an html formatted mail, which I suspect they have pasted the text document into.
They then have used a colour to highlight the line I should be interested in. The problem here, is that I do not know if they will be using bold, italic, underline, red, blue, green or anything else they can think of to highlight that line. That is all very obvious to a sighted reader of the mail as it is clearly different to everything else in the mail. The problem is to get Window-Eyes to react like an eye in this kind of circumstance. . Regards, John.

In order to add colors to it, they must be running it through a word processor such as Word, or doing something else and saving as PDF. I haven't worked with this, but you are supposed to be able to use Word to search for text in a particular color. I'm pretty sure that you can set up some wildcards so any text in that color would be found. And if they are giving you a PDF, you could probably run it through Omnipage or Nuance's PDF Converter program to create a Word document which you could search in the same way.
