Ok, Thanks for the suggestions. For all those who rely full on an device, I
thought there must be a magical trick within the email. Glad to know I
wan't missing something, although I would have liked it to have been a
simple answer. Maybe I'll try sending it to kindle.

You could get an Otterbox Defender case, or any case that comes with a
holster that allows you to put the phone in the holster with the screen
facing in. Then, you lok the screen orientation, start reading, and put
the phone in the holster with the screen facing in. That would keep you
from bumping the screen.

Basically, don't bump the screen. :) It sounds simple, but keep in mind
that touches can register through cloth, so if your phone is in your
pocket with the screen in, it might touch your leg and register a touch.
Or, if it is facing out, a bris of your hand over that pocket could be
enough.
Personally, I'd consider sending something that huge to Instapaper and
reading either from the Instapaper app or an app like Voice Dream Reader.
Basically, you send your email to a special address you are given when
you sign up, and anything you forward there is converted into the
Instapaper format (which is, ideally, just the text and important bits of
the message or article). You can then read that generated article however
you wish. Note that using VDR to read it requires a subscription to
Instapaper, a monthly fee you can pay for within the Instapaper app
itself, using iTunes credit.
The only other thing I can think of is to try to remember a bit of text
from where you left off in the email. Then, open the message and use a
two-finger triple tarp to bring up the Item Chooser. Activate the search
field, type the text you remember, and hope you remembered/typed it
right. Go to the matching item and, in theory, you will be back where you
left off.

I'm using the native email app in my iphone. I was trying to read a
really long newsletter that was in the text of the message. Voiceover
said it was 160 pages long. Unfortunately, as much as I tried to not
bump the screen, it seems that I would occasionally do so, sending the
focus back to the beginning of the message or back to my inbox. I would
go back into the message and triple finger flick up to find the correct
page and start reading again, only do bump the screen again at some
point. After multiple times and getting to page 100 or so, I gave up and
decided I didn't want to triple finger flick 100 times.
Any advice for managing really long emails like this? I had the screen
orientation locked, so that was not the issue. I had it in my pocket
some of the time, thinking I was less apt to bump the screen, but, alas,
I did it again. Please share your advice. My only other option is to
just wait and read it on my laptop.
Thanks.
