To answer my own query you have to reduce Voiceover verbosity to medium.
i am not sure if this will have any other consequences. I had previously gone
through the verbosity table settings manually and I had previously looked at
Verbosity settings but I could not find an element in the table which
appeared to correspond to new line or carriage return.
Nevertheless reducing verbosity globally from High to medium has done the
trick.
My own view is that this should either be the default setting or be more
clearly highlighted in the Verbosity table settings.
Still it is a great relief to read emails more naturally. I should be able to
read longer documents on the Mac now.
