One extra question on this: I have found an italian page saying that

	"if you disable the speaking of the ">" sign, blind users
	won't know what is a reply and what is new text. If you don't
	disable such reading, blind users will hear one or more ">"
	signs at every new line, which is terribly annoying and
	confusing".

Is there no other way? That is, is there some assistive sw which can:

   not speak the ">" sign but, at the same time,
   indicate to the user in some way what is a reply and what is new?

TIA,
	Marco
