Actually, in this particular case, you don't actually need to get Orca,
at-spi2, etc. because what is being requested doesn't use those things.

To put this bug another way -- perhaps the way I should have put it in the
first place (apologies): People should be able to arrow around in the email
messages they receive just like they can arrow around in Kate. I should be able
to select the text in messages I receive using the keyboard and not the mouse
-- without using Orca and without having at-spi2. In several GNOME applications
(including Evolution), this can be accomplished by pressing F7 to toggle caret
navigation.

Having said that, *if* people can arrow around in the messages like they can in
Kate, and *if* we get the right AT-SPI2 events from qt-at-spi as a result,
*then* an Orca user should be able to read a message that way. And that would
be extremely cool. :)

Sorry for any confusion! And thank you so much for your interest!!
