So how exactly was the amount written in the email?

Note that I did a bunch of regex cleanups across the outloud and dtk
servers about 4--8 weeks ago -- and may well have introduced a bug; try
 getting the possibly buggy utterance using the speech-server from the
 previous Emacspeak release. Note: the 4--8 weeks ago is from memory --
 may have been earlier; it was around the time I brought back beeps for
 caps in the dtk family of servers, and did some consistency cleanups in
 the TCL proc "proc clean".
