I'd much rather see that quark be fixed rather than search There's an easy way around this for most folks. When in the Pine index of messages screen, use your thumb on the down arrow key. Use your middle finger on the 8 key on the numeric keypad. Now, press down arrow with your thumb to move to the next message, but don't wait for speakup to talk. Instead, just press 8 on the numeric to cause it to read the current line. If I couldn't do this I'd go crazy with the hundreds of messages I plow through weekly. Of course, there are folks with disabilities (in addition to blindness) who can't do this.
