it's not a bug. this is the way it was designed to work (what happens
when you have multiple message windows open? which one does the message-
list in the main window track?)

each message-window has its own message-list (hidden) which it uses for
message navigation. it CANNOT be tied to the main window.

this is something that will be instantly WONTFIX'd.

then don't use the separate window. it makes no sense that you'd want to
use the main window's message-list anyway if you are using next/prev in
the message-window since presumably the only reason you'd use the
message-window is if you used it full-screen and thus you couldn't see
the message-list anyway!

if you aren't full-screen'ing the message-window, then what the heck is
the point of using it in place of the main window's view pane?
