Using Orca with Evolution and HTML Messages

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.
