Like what was said earlier, there aren't any options to think of that
really affect a11y.  But I have customized my detail lines for the
message list and the status line at the bottom to give me just what I
want to know concisely including how many messages are in each
thread.  I also tweaked the ignore commands to show a very brief
header summary at the top of my messages.  I'll tell you what, between
my .emacs and my .muttrc files, I cherish my config files and will
utterly go into dispare if I should ever lose them.:)

A couple other mutt notes: it is so configurable that I can pipe
message contents into firefox or elinks for full webifying of html
type messages or open the attachments window and play the attached
file with appropriate players.  To do all this, you need to mess with
mime types and mailcap files.  Mutt respects these files.  You can
also do a list-reply to "subscribed" lists so lists like Orca can be
replied to by doing a shift-L instead of replying to all with "g" or
replying privately.  Look at mutt's documentation concerning the
subscribed lists variable and just add orca-list to it.

Another item, you can source in various parts of mutt config files so
if you have several primary accounts or whatever, you can have a
shared common config like list subscriptions or other general mutt
options.  I also set up emacs as my editor of choice and added some
customizations in .emacs to force word wrap mode on for my message
creation.  Now that the glue has dried over the years, I have a really
tight e-mail system which I use in both speakup console and orca.
