I have jfw v5 and when using pmmail I have punctuation turned off completely. But, when I arrow down a list of messages, jfw will read the name date/time subject just fine, but in the list there is also a field showing where the message is from. This latter field is preceeded usually with at least 3 periods. Jfw inserts a very long pause before reading the "from" and I'm wondering if there is any way to shorten this pause, either through a setting somewhere or by editing one of the configuration files. I don't want to eliminate all pauses for periods as I still want jfw to pause slightly at the end of a sentence, but it could really be helpful to shorten the pauses somewhat when multiple periods or possibly other multiple punctuations are encountered. I've tried changing to punctuation controlled by synthesizer and this has had no effect. I also tried turning off the handling of multiple punctuations and again it didn't change a thing. Any suggestions?
