After upgrading from JAWS 10 to 11, I have run into a small issue. While reading some of my emails, I hear the word, "symbol" pronounced somewhat often. It has something to do with how my email client is interpreting the character set used by other email clients.

In JAWS 10 it seemed to ignore these and treat these "symbol" characters as spaces. JAWS 11 wants to say "symbol" every time it encounters them.

Triple clicking numpad 5 says it is character 160. I am trying to convince the JAWS dictionary manager to substitute a space for character 160. I tried cutting and pasting the character in, and just putting a space in the replacement section, but it still announces symbol. I tried putting the space in single quotes. I tried entering backslash 160 but that didn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions?
