There's an easy way around this for most folks.

When in the Pine index of messages screen, use your thumb on the down 
arrow key. Use your middle finger on the 8 key on the numeric keypad. 

Now, press down arrow with your thumb to move to the next message, but 
don't wait for speakup to talk. Instead, just press 8 on the numeric to 
cause it to read the current line.

If I couldn't do this I'd go crazy with the hundreds of messages I plow 
through weekly.

Of course, there are folks with disabilities (in addition to blindness) 
who can't do this.
