That seems to have done the trick, though I suspect I know why the space 
was being inserted originally.  Now, while contractions are spoken the way 
they should be, email addresses are spoken without the periods.  This only 
happens when reading with the plus key, or letting Speakup automatically 
read the screen.  When reading with the 4 and 6 keys, that is, word by 
word, the default reading punctuation level is apparently higher, as 
punctuation characters are all read.  As far as I am concerned, this is an 
acceptable trade off.  Those broken-up contractions were driving me crazy! 
However, if this really bugs somebody, it might be better to have spaces 
inserted only in certain situations.  That is, only if a period or at sign 
is between two letters.
