Hello Mike, hello Orca-Community!
Hello all, we are attempting to come up with the best way to present
quoted text in thunderbird for both speech and braille.
By default Thunderbird uses a kind of graphical quoting that is not
accessible by any screenreader.
But it is very easy to learn Thunderbird "normal quoting", that means
the using of ">" (greater-than sign) like nearly every MUA does.
Just install the add on "Quote Colors" and the problem is solved.
Have a look at this webside: <http://quotecolors.mozdev.org/>
The direct download link:
<http://downloads.mozdev.org/quotecolors/quotecolors.xpi>
Install the xpi-file via the add on-manager and deactivate graphical
quoting.
