    Reading the message list is a bit of a pane you have to read the entire table because some times Orca will get stuck.
    Writing a new message is fine it will even tell you the name of the subject as your writing the subject.
    As for the message window you are able to copy and paste the entire message into a editor like leafpad or mousepad and then read it from there.
    These are just a bit of the workarounds I've tryed doing wile using sylpheed.

    But why sylpheed, if it's a fuzzzzz..... ?

    For the most part its accessible. I've even got a action that opens the message for reading in leafpad.

    You need to find the line length setting; looks like in your current
    setup this has been left unset or is reaaaallllllly long :)

    sylpheed.

    One thing that Sylpheed does *the way they all should* is allowing
    single remote setup and data folders to be linked into any OS as long as
    it's Linux (this might work in windows too, I wouldn't know). The setup
    folder is ~/.sylpheed-2.0 and if my data folder for all my mailing be
    Data4Me then both of these can exist on a data drive and be linked into
    all the OS'es I use conditional to identical user id/specs. Seamonkey can
    do much of this too but I don't use it for news so it needs to be
    tinkered out.
