Screen reader and keyboard-only users rely on the Tab key to traverse interactive elements in DOM order, and if the visually decorative envelope is implemented as an unlabeled button, it becomes the only entry point for discovering the reading action.
Providing meaningful aria-labels or visible text for interactive controls, ensuring the focus order matches the visual reading order, and allowing users to skip decorative content to reach the letter body directly are the correct practices to ensure that screen reader and keyboard-only users can understand the purpose of the controls.
