Well then, don't do step 2 and do the others. This means that the dictionary change applies only to the email application.

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
