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.
