Someone posted to the list recently that they were getting errors from
within I.E. when accessing links from the New York Times daily
newsletter.  I get this newsletter, too, but haven't accessed any links
from it in a while.  I do, though, sometimes get links to stories on the
Times's Web site from a friend that I usually just access by clicking on
the link in the e-mail.  I just got one of these messages and wanted to
read the story; but after bringing up at least part of the page, presumably
containing the story, I got an error from I.E. and had to close it.  I
noticed, just before I got the error, that there was what appeared to be an
ad on the page that I'd never seen there before.  I tried repeatedly to
access the story but couldn't.  I'm wondering if the Times has done
something to their site recently that may not work well with JAWS.  (I'm
using v6.10.)  This happened once before with Citibank's site, and the
solution, until things were fixed, was to temporarily close JAWS until you
got past a certain screen.  I don't know if this is what's going on with
the Times site, but it might be.  When I get my next newsletter from them,
I will attempt to access a story from it and will report my findings to the
list.
