You are right. It didn't tackle my problem. Had
to add some blank replacement references for the
characters I didn't want spoken in the Dictionary manager.
Couldn't find the characters I wanted silenced
listed under the customize punctuation option in
the settings center. Guess this will have to do.
At least I can read my email in Eudora Pro in peace now.

Hi Kenny,
As you have probably figured out by now, that setting doesn't do any good
for the punctuation / symbols that you are looking to silence. Here's what
that setting does:
Use this edit box to determine when special characters are announced. Some
special characters are always announced. For example, the symbols for
Copyright, Registered, and Trademark are always read by JAWS. Select Never
so that most special characters are not announced. This is the default
setting. Select Type Echo, Say Char, Spell Word so that most special
characters are announced when typing, when reading by character, or when
spelling a word. Select Also Say Word so that special characters are
announced when reading by word, in addition to typing, reading by character,
or spelling. Select Also Say Line so that special characters are announced
when reading by line, in addition to typing, reading by word or character,
or spelling. being announced under the conditions in the previous two
options. Select Also Say All so that special characters are announced when
reading using the Say All command, in addition to typing, reading by
character, word, or line, or spelling.
Take care.
Mike

I noticed something in the Settings Center under
the Graphics and Symbols option:
Announce Special Symbols When
I used the spacebar to toggle that option to "Never."
Hopefully that will get rid of the announcing of
those special extended characters in Eudora Pro.
Thanks Mike for leading me down the right path.
