Spot on Steve! A braille display in the only way at the moment,
However, if we refined the process, one could emboss the message to see
the braille font as a braille font.

Alan,
I can't comment on the appearance of braille dots in an Email message,
but I can tell you that the only way to read braille as it is rendered
by translation software is to use a braille display. For a screen
reader to render braille into intelligible speech, you would have to
send the material through a reverse translator to turn it back into
text.
