1) funny - i was not aware that there are multiple messages also in the preview pane. i never need this but i think there is a use case for it (print multiple messages). then it makes sense that is in the date order and the newest massage is visible.

2) but i like more the behavior of Apple Mail: only the last selected mail should be in preview pane. in apple i can select a bunch of emails and while selecting i can easy fast read the last selected email if is there something important (for example in spam folder). and then hit delete. in mailmate i need to select each mail and later need to select all messages.

3) maybe it would enough to have an option:

Messages Preview:
( ) all selected
(*) only current selected mail

then it should show only the mail where the current "cursor" is

When:
- i select in 3Pane view some messages

what i see:
- when i select vom up to down then always the same first (by Date) message is in preview
- the same message is always reloaded on each new selected
- if i revert the order by Date then it is reverted: i always see the first message by Date

what i expect:
- always the new selected message should be in preview
- when i select from up to down then the last message
- when i select from down to up then the first message

Just to be sure, this is about selecting multiple messages in the message list?

First of all, current behavior is kind of random (but most often related to date). The whole “previewing multiple messages” feature is a bit of a hack and it'll stay that way until I hopefully get around to replace it with a solution based on multiple HTML views instead of putting everything into one view (which doesn't really work with HTML).

In any case, I think most users would expect the order to be the same as the order in the message list -- disregarding the selection order... It could possibly be an optional feature, but keep in mind that this is the first time anyone has requested this behavior.
