Typically you just let the screen reader read messages page by page, but
I suppose if you put something like

set pager=nano

in your .muttrc you could move around in the message like you are
talking about. You could replace nano with whatever editor you like. I
don't think this would be preferred because you would not be able to
delete or advance to the next message within the editor. Moving around
the screen with the speakup cursor keys is easy enough that I don't see
why you would really want to move around in messages another way.
