Hi Rick--

Please post such messages to the emacspeak mailing list so

The best place to do this --since it is doubletalk 
specific is in the doubletalk server.

Look at proc clean 
--this is the tcl procedure that cleans up text --at least
in the dtk-exp server.

Since the doubletalk server is a clone of the dtk-exp server
I assume it uses the same proc name --I dont know since I
didn't write it.

If it does have a proc clean --then it should have if else
clauses for punctuation all and punctuation some 
--add an appropriate regsub line for the '@' sign.

TCL is well documented online --and you should be able to do
what you need by classic cut and paste programing in this
case.

If you make this change make sure to pass it back to the
author of the Doubletalk server (not to me)

Thanks,
