This is the "debian" way, right?  I have my emacs setup in $HOME and
that is the only place where code goes, save for the outloud stuff which
is installed in the default locations.

I'll try this later on and see if it solves the problem.

I took a look in the emacspeak-gnus.el file and nothing is done with the
punctuation mode.  I have added the code to set it in the various
mode hooks and will be sending a patch after a few days... just to see
if there are any unintended effects.  I would like to get Dr. Ramen's
opinion on this, but do think it would be useful or necessary to give
the option for the default punctuation mode to be set by the user?  I
tend to use 'some' for everything but sourcecode, but I might be in the
minority.
