Using Orca with Evolution and HTML Messages

[Peter Torpey]

I did try the "caret navigation" option.  This gave me access to the header
fields of the message, but not the contents of the body of the message.

 

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.
