Your first technique for suppressing the announcement of the > symbol is not
a good idea, because it will be suppressed in all applications, not just
email. So, for example, if you happen to encounter a Word document that
contains the > symbol, JAWS will treat it as a space and not announce it,
which is probably not what you want. The JAWS Dictionary Manager is global,
so applying changes to the > symbol will affect all applications.

A couple of ways, Steve. You can define the > symbol in your dictionary
like this.
1. Press Insert D to open the dictionary:
2. Press Control Shift D to open the default dictionary.
3. Tab to the Add button and press Enter.
4. Type the > character in that space.
5. Tab to the next field and press the space bar.
You won't hear another > when you read e-mails that have been extended.
That's why they're there by the way. To tell you that you are reading a
part of the e-mail which has been forwarded.
The second method is to use something like ECleaner to remove the >
symbols.
But you'll need to load that program first. It works quite well and it's
simple to use.
I think it's on David's programs page.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] greater sign in emails
Hello,
How can I get JAWS to not pronounce the greater sign at the beginning of
each line in some emails.
Thanks
Steve
