If memory serves those interfaces "display" in Braille  two or three
lines of a terminal

I'd assume it works like a dumb terminal and you use dumb terminal tools
with it, such as ed mail rather than vi and mutt.

In which case, I have to ask you, does it slow you a lot when people
quote more than a line or two before they start their answer? I try to
do this in my replies even without ever thinking about blind audience,
because overquoting is annoying to me even as a seeing person, but I can
only guess how it effects your readership...

well, one WOULD need to have the installation all done on a serial
console and without fancy menues...
