You're assuming that the machine in question is a Mac. I'm not: It doesn't
have any clients that read IMAP mail.

Doesn't Apple Mail allow braille readers to work? I assumed it'd be one of
the basics.

And no, I'm not rallying against accessibility, obviously. I'm rallying
against porting it to non-Macs as being on 10.6 (or 10.7) is part of the
brief.
