[EMBOSS] needle question!

Hello,
I am currently using needle to generate an alignment between two
sequences which contain non-informative bases (ie, identified low
quality bases (phred scores) and have been changed to "N").
Presently, these bases are penalized as any other non-matching
character. Is there any way to change needle to "overlook" these
bases when generating the best scoring alignment (or, do I need to
write my own version of needle?)
Thank you in advance for any advise you can offer!
Best regards,
Karen
