Extended ASCII Characters

[Steve Holmes]

Is there any way to get speakup not to speak these characters when
reviewing or otherwise? When I set read punctuation even down to zero,
they are still spoken.  I would only be interested in hearing these on
demand.  I'm speaking about characters well above decimal 127.  Like
decimal values of 226, 246 and the like.

Anyway to quiet these chars down during normal use? I'm using latest
speakup, espeak and espeakup.
