No audible feedback when navigating by line the Mail app's composition message field

Description

When composing a new message in the native Mail app, if you use the VoiceOver Rotor to navigate the message field by line there is no audible feedback as focus moves between lines.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the native Mail app
  2. Double tap with 1 finger on the button to compose a new message
  3. Place VoiceOver focus in to the message field
  4. Type several lines of text
  5. Set the VoiceOver Rotor to its line navigation menu
  6. Flick up/down repeatedly with 1 finger to move VoiceOver focus by line

The focus does move, but there is no audible feedback.

Compare this to the behaviour when navigating this same field by character or word, where there is audible feedback for each movement of focus.
