WAI-ARIA allows set some document elements as a live regions. Assistive technologies are then able to detect changes and act appropriatelly. E.G. in this scenario with one-line tweak we can allow screen-reading applications that understand ARIA properties to automatically speak incoming messages as they appear.

I don't know anything (yet :-)) about accessibility things that we should do in Instantbird, but let's take this for now.

The code around this will change a lot when we will design the conversation window though...

Don't hesitate to notify us if there are small code changes like this one that can improve significantly the accessibility of Instantbird.

Thank you for working on this! :-)
