Moving between messages
I normally use CTRL-right arrow to move through the unread messages, and SPACE to scroll down long ones. But how do I go back when my fingers have been faster than my brain? There don't seem to be keyboard shortcuts that reverse the process (i.e. go to last message read, even if in different folder, or scroll back up) - or I haven't found them! Has anyone else?

This is how they are described in the pop-up menus :-) Ctrl+Alt+Arrows should be used to move to unread messages when the preview pane is selected. This is because Ctrl+Arrows are used for moving between words... -- Cheers!

Similarly, I rarely move forward to next viewed but to next unread. So it would be much more intuitive to have Alt+Right for next unread and Alt+Left for previous viewed. Ideally, to reduce finger strain, I'd like a really lazy method for reviewing messages (I get a lot every day), like: ArrowDown moves to next unread message, and if it's larger than the preview pane, PgDown scrolls downwards, PgUp upwards, with automatic change of focus. ArrowUp moves back to last viewed. Or an option to reconfigure keyboard shortcuts to any way the user likes it: I personally hate all those CTRL/ALT finger gymnastics for something as simple as moving through new messages. Hope this makes sense. Regards, Günter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!
