[NFB-Web] Email Links

[Joseph Drenth]

Hi Steve,
 
I recommend against putting real email addresses on your web pages. Instead,
use either a "contact us" form or spell out the components of the email in
text so robots do not detect it. The reason behind this recommendation is
that we in Pennsylvania have been the recipients of very targeted fishing
attacks. They even go so far as to send our treasurer fake emails as if they
were from the president asking them to email back in order to quickly make a
late payment, or something along those lines. The "president" of course has
a bogus email address, but the rest of the email is close enough to reality
that it is dangerous. To avoid such scams, I recommend avoiding direct email
addresses as much as possible, especially addresses of people who might not
be Internet savvy enough to immediately detect fishing and other scams.
 
Just my two cents.

JAWS Does this, putting each link on its own line - NVDA doesn't.

Hi All, 
 
Working on our new NFBofSC.org website after being migrated over. As I put
Email addresses on our Chapters And Divisions page I am making them links as
they should be. Then when I look on the live page after my updates, the
Email address itself is moved down to the next line. How do I set this so
the Email address is not on a line by itself? 
 
Thanks for your assistance!
