I agree. I think it's up to the user to define whether he read the message. In fact as a consequence, I have no use of the 'unread' tag. > * At the end of the thread, return to the index view.?

I would prefer just to do nothing (or bell) at the end of the thread. Sometimes the end of a message is just at the end of the screen, and I want to hit space to see the next message, so I think that returning to the index would surprise me (as going to the next thread does). But this could be a third option if some people prefer that. So we would have: - do nothing - archive go to the next thread - return to the index Matthieu
