OK, perhaps Evolution has a setting to display all emails as plain text?
As for Thunderbird you need to get it from the mozilla ftp site because
you need the beta version of Thunderbird 3 for the accessibility to be
there.
Ordinarily using add/remove programs or typing sudo apt-get install is
the best way to get new packages in Ubuntu.
The mozilla ftp site is at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org
If you need further help to download Thunderbird give me a shout.

I did try the "caret navigation" option. This gave me access to the

If I don't get any other recommendations here, maybe I'll install
Thunderbird.
What is the best/easiest way to install such packages? Should I
browse under the Add/Remove Programs, Synaptic Package Manager, or
simply find the correct install package name on the web and use
apd-get install from the Gnome terminal?
Thanks.

Hopefully someone who uses Evolution can answer this if my solution
doesn't work because this is a guess. I actually use Thunderbird not
Evolution.
There is a setting called something like "enable carot navigation"
which lets you arrow around read-only emails as if it was editable
text. It should be in the menus somewhere.
If this doesn't work I hope someone else can answer this for you.

I set up my mail account in Evolution, but can't seem to easily red
HTML messages.
When I hit enter on a message to red it with Orca, the braille display
says something like "panel is showing HTML", but the message can't be
read.
I figured out that I could read the message with Orca if I hit the
option to use this message as part of a new message (like forwarding
the message). If I do that, the contents can be read by navigating
with the arrow keys.
This seems a bit awkward, though, and I thought there must be a better
method.
If not, is there another mail client which should preferably be used
with Orca?
Thanks.
