Scenario is reading an open message in Outlook 2007 on XP
Body of message contains a hyperlink.

In Outlook Express it was possible to use the tab key to navigate through
the message header and then to the body and any hyperlinks in it.

Pressing the tab key to navigate in Outlook 2007 results in cycling through
the message header and the Quick Access toolbar.

I've tried combinations of arrow keys, CTRL, SHIFT, ALT but nothing will
move the cursor to the body with the keyboard.

I've notice you are correct.. Yes I am in the reading pane, it only works on
HTML messages, on Plain Text messages it does not. I have to take my hands
off the keyboard and use the mouse to click the hyperlink. Any way to make
this work?

Thanks for answering too. Happy Labor Day.
