Hi, I know that in the latest build of JAWS 9 you can stop JAWS from reading web pages automatically. This can be set using the Adjust JAWS Options dialogue box, under the general options category I think. Anyway, look for document automatically read and press space to turn it off. Then press enter to save your changes. In terms of OE6, do the above, but look for messages automatically read and press space to turn it off and press enter. Hope that helps.
