Must admit, from every demo I've heard, the lack of automatic reading of certain items is one of my concerns about switching over. Whereas a sighted person can just look anywhere on screen, requiring more keystrokes or gestures than needed is counterproductive and could even contribute to RSI in extreme cases.

I do not use the preview pane. I prefer to have each message open in its own window so I may easily reply to each individual message in the thread. When done I simply press Command+W to close the window or Command+Option+W to close all of the windows in the thread. While the lack of automatic reading now requires only one quick gesture on my TrackPad, it is a feature I that I sorely miss. Prior to this removal of the feature, I could simply keep my hands on the keyboard poised for the Command+W so to close windows, only. I am definitely going to turn in a bug report on this one. I realize that some people may not like this feature so I am going to suggest something quite radical for Apple, give us a choice.
