Re:Possible format bug?

["Tim Cross" <tcross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Raman,

are you using outloud or espeak? I've noticed the problem exists in outloud,
but not espeak. From other reports, it seems that it didn't exists prior to a
certain version (still trying to track down when it started). this is based on
some reports I've recieved where it does and does not happen, depending on the
version being used.

There are two types of people in IT - those who do not manage what they 
understand and those who do not understand what they manage.
