Jim, there is no better email client but if you haven't already, you might consider dropping a note to accessibility and asking for a configuration option.

So, you could not navigate line by line with arrow keys, but also, the reading of messages was seemless with no pauses. With Snow Lepoard, whether in full screen or in the preview pane, you can manipulate text in a mail message with arrow keys, but this seems to have the side effect of creating pauses at the end of each line, no matter which reading commands are used. I realize that this may be insignificant to some, but when reading lengthy messages, such as news articles, it is quite different than reading web content, which reads flawlessly and smoothly.
There may be no way of changing this behavior, perhaps there is a Snow Lepoard compatible alternative mail program?
