Howdy all! This message is about the Views menu and viewing options.
First, shouldn't "View Options..." be listed right under the "View All", "View Unread" and "View Only..." choices? Secondly, I prefer the 3 pane views of the Browser Layout because then I don't have PM message windows opening in different places and sizes. However, when viewing messages in either of the 3 pane views, I can't figure out a shortcut for "Delete current viewed message" and go to the previous or next message. If I double-click a message in the list, it opens in a separate window, and THEN I can use shortcuts for deleting and moving to the next message. In the Preferences, I can choose to "Select next message after moving to trash" in the "General" pane, but that's overall unusable because I often want to view or take action upon just one message in the middle of a list of UNread messages, and deleting that message then chooses the next message and marks it as read. Or, when I have to stop reading messages to go do something, I have to undo the "mark as read" action so I know what messages I haven't yet read when I return to that mailbox. I've been trying numerous shortcuts - have I missed these? Also, when viewing messages in the 3-pane views, why are all the attachment options in File>Attachments always unavailable? It would be nice to right-click (sorry, control-click for those without multiple input device buttons) or select one of the menu options to act on the attachments of an incoming message without opening the message. If I open the message that has attachments in its own window and then select the sliver of a section for attachments, I then have a few options of what I can do with the attachments. "Open attachment", "Show in Finder" and "Move to Finder trash" are the enabled choices. Is it possible to have these options available when in list view without resorting to the multiple-step process of opening the message and clicking in the attachment area? cheshirekat -- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.
