So much Windows Mailer crap on this list...

I set symbols to most and I don't hear the > signs at all.  When I talk to
people, I don't say punctuation or symbols to them unless I'm describing the
syntax of something so don't see the need to hear it from speech output
either.  If I need to clarify the syntax of an item, then I review it with
the appropriate review features of a Screen Reader or verify with a Braile
Display when using a Braille Dislay.

yes, they are pronounced and I know I can kill them but then if I did
that, I'd get some char strings rong so don't want to.  In pine, you can
eliminate them from first generation forwarding and you can do this in
oe too.

Yep. You're in ISO 8895(1).

Now, please explain about the >< thingie. Are those being pronounced on
you? They do serve a function, of course, but I can also understand why
they're annoying with the current state of screen readers. Ideally,
their
presence at the beginning of a line of text should trigger some sonic
change in the speech such as pitch, I would think.
