Yes it does, but Mickey's solution worked for my problem.

Fair enough.

Exotic? Why would they incorporate so many keyboard shortcuts if not for
the keyboard users? Do you ever scroll through a list of messages and
select one with the mouse? Why should doing that same thing with the
keyboard be "exotic"?

I'm guessing the testers are all MVPs?

Exactly what I was hoping to avoid by making the suggestion. =)
Thanks for writing the script, though, it might come in handy...
