Hi Tony,

Don't worry about the brackets or quotation signs surrounding emaill
adresses or parts of email addresses.  they are there for
illustrative purposes, not to be included in addresses or parts of
addresses when one is actually writing to them.

To change JAWS punctuation effectively, go to your JAWS by whichever
method you use to get into the JAWS menus; then choose Basics:  then
choose Voices submenu; Then tab into the ensuing dialogue, and in the
3rd field switch punctuation from All to Some by arrowing up.  (This is
better than hsetting it to none, as you will hear Web addresses properly
thus.)  then
tab to ok, and hit enter.

Hi All
I wonder if you could let me know how I can prevent Jaws from speaking
every
punctuation
mark?I  am a little bewildered, say for example when we might wish to
use
the "setmail" for example when going on holiday, I think that it may be
necessary to use brackets before and after vicsireland
so we would need to know about the brackets by Jaws speaking them to us!
Now say you are receiving  instruction by email you may not want jaws
speaking quotation marks  as that would not be necessary for you to use
when
carrying out the instructed task!
I am indeed very grateful to those who impart I.T instruction but I do
find
the use of quotation  marks in instruction and list answers very
offputting
indeed.   So to speak brackets but not quotes?
Trust I haven't totally confused you all at this stage!
All the best
Tony Sweeney.
