Hello Wayne, Did you try interacting with the message before navigating to the link, as I suggested? I'm guessing that you usually press enter to read mail messages with your preview pane hidden. In that case your focus may not be exactly on the link when you try your VO+Shift+M. Some people move off and on the link again, then retry. However, if you want to reliably land on the link in a message that contains links, interact first. Then VO+Space will open the link, or you can also use VO+Shift+M if you want other options. You'll also be able to use web rotor shortcuts like VO+Command+l to move to the next hyperlink or Quck Nav single letter combinations. And you don't need to interact if you only want to read messages, but it ensures that you will land with your focus on the link you want. Interact, VO+Down arrow to link and VO+Space to open the link in mail should work reliably on all systems, even older versions of Mac OS X with limited memory, which was why I gave those instructions in my earlier post,
HTH.
