I have to confess that I've not yet played with Mailman 3. :(

Have you tried with NVDA?  It should of course work with JAWS, but I have 
seen situations where one screen reader sees what another does not, and 
NVDA costs nothing to try.

Also, it's a good idea to give specific version numbers instead of 
"latest", as "latest" doesn't mean much in six months time.  Also, browser 
versions as well.

Cheers,
Geoff.
