Jack,
I don't know whether I want to turn off this feature or not, at present, but 
thanks for telling us where in the configuration manager settings menu this 
could be done.  To be more explicit, the reason I hesitate to turn it off is 
because it sometimes helps me to visualize that a passage Jaws is speaking 
is inset within narrower margins on the page the way a quoted passage would 
appear between paragraphs of the author's own text in a book.  To me, this 
is useful knowledge to be given by Jaws.

But the trouble is, as I'm sure you've noticed, that the "block quote" thing 
seems to apply itself annoyingly to all sorts of textual situations.  Most 
of the time, I'm simply perplexed why I hear it in emails or email replies, 
or a bunch of other places.  It's as if a good intention has gone astray, 
and is responding to cues (perhaps something like, say, indentation?) no 
matter what the context.  Anyone have any idea of the origin and original 
purpose of   this particular Jaws refinement?


sounds kind of  and this makes Jaws seem kind of stupid, which makes me 
recognizes , for instance,  it appli3es , so , my

I didn't know how many of you know, or care.  But you can turn off the block
quote announcement in Jaws.  I know that it shows up in E-mails as well as 
on
the internet.  But if you'd rather not have block quote text announced, 
here's
how you can turn it off.

1. Hit insert 6 on the number row.
2. Hit control shift D.
3.  Now hit alt S for user options.
4. Now hit H for HTML options.
5. Tab once and you should hear, indicate block quotations check box 
checked.
    If you don't want it announced, uncheck it.
6.  Now tab to OK, and close the configuration manager.  Tell it yes to save 
the
changes.  You're all done.  Jack
