Howdy Jude,

I am not sure why that happens in alpine. I use mutt myself, and was able to 
give specific feedback for it, so it works quite well now. None of the changes 
you made should cause any problem.

Are the problems you are having only in alpine, or in the normal console as 
well? If in the console, you may try typing:

reset

and see if that clears it up.

Thanks,
Storm

This happens lots in alpine. Subject lines and lines inside of messages get cut off persistently by fenrir. I can tell this since context is regularly trashed in the reading. If in desktop mode I press the 8 key on the number pad with a short press, I hear broken lines persistently. If I press a little longer I hear the whole line. If I press to long then I hear the broken line.
Another failure is when listening to some messages I'm hearing spaces spoken sometimes with some messages but this doesn't happen with all messages. I have no clue what's causing that to happen. The only modifications I made to fenrir configuration were in /etc/fenrir-screenreader/settings/settings.conf.
I adjusted the speech rate down from 1.0 to 0.5; I changed laptop to desktop, I changed echo keys pressed to True.
Would any of these changes caused this degraded performance?
