I like to have the original in front of me, too. I have my Windows arranged in a tiled fashion--I did it through manually sizing them, rather than selecting Tiles--such that a message I am Replying to peeks out to the left, just behind the Reply "Edit Mail Message" Window. I am a Mouse person. So, a click in the original field that sticks out will put the original I am replying to in front of me, and--since I have the Reply Window just a little longer than the "View Folder Window" of the original--I can click in that field and get back to message composition. Now--if you went back to the first message in the thread and put its Window up, could you size things such that you could click back and forth? I haven't tried it for that. And maybe you are not a Mouse person at all. Also, maybe someone will come up with the exact key-stroke for your needs, and all this speculating is for nothing!

I am going to try what I just suggested, to see if it works. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
