If I didn't warn the original sender about that, I should have. You are
correct, Gerald, of course.
Once a character has been defined in that manner it stays silent in all
applications.
I suppose you could create the dictionary exception for the e-mail client
only. That might be a working alternative. In that case, ignore the
comment about activating the default dictionary. Open Outlook Express
Then go to Jaws using Jaws key plus J. Then activate the dictionary file
and define the > symbol as indicated in my earlier message.
Thanks again for the caviat Gerald.

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.

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