In the compose message toolbar, the screen reader tells you to use Control + Option + Space/Enter to select and activate an option.

When you select a message, the screen reader reads the sender's name, time and date, if the message is pinned or flagged, how many thread replies the message has, the number of reactions and how to reply to the thread.

In the message reactions menu, the screen reader reads out the different reactions available and offers the option to add a reaction.
