Adrian,

The string I gave included the left and right brackets, which is what 
usually comes with one of these special identifiers. So it's virtually no 
problem to have that string [jfw] silenced.

Dave,

Here, we find ourselves on opposite sides. To inform the JAWS dictionary to
remove JFW would be to have it not speak those three letters in other
contexts where we might want it.

Let me add that James would probably prefer listers carry on this debate
through him and off-list.

Well, Max, the dictionary manager is a very easy and powerful tool, and I'm
surprised that anyone objects to using it.

Hi, I am also not in favour of adding anything to the subject line. I know
that we can add a dictionary entry to stop hearing it. However as I don't
import my settings from v 10 - 11 etc I must go in and re do all the
dictionary entries. I really hate doing that. Max.

Hi, Personally I would vote against adding a string like this if it is at
the beginning of the subject. I find it extremely irritating to have to
listen to strings like that just to hear the subject of an email. It drives
me nuts. Just my 2 cents.

Hello James, First of all, thanks for the great job of moderating the list.
I wonder if it's possible to add JFW or similar as a prefix to the subject
line of messages to enable grouping etc. This would make email reading much
easier for those of us who have lots of emails to get through each day.
Compliments of the season to you all. Glen

I appreciate that you're looking for people to fill your newest of many new
mailing lists, but the JAWS list is hardly the place to be advertising for
it. Let's try to restrict our posting to things that are actually considered
on-topic for the list, please. This seems to be a biweekly reminder to folks
on the list, and I don't really think it should need to be.

James, List Admin
