Yes. This is what I've been doing but I do use a 17" monitor and this
method produced enough inconvenience to provoke the suggestion, that's
all.

I guess the suggestion is borne of the same reason why the View Folder
window has it's own message list. Technically it doesn't need one for
the same reason as you described above.

 BTW, what do you find to be the advantages of working from the folder
 view? I've never seen much point for it, but then I'm fond of 3-pane
 mailers.

The message navigation keys do not work on the main window list with
the message autoview open. I also use an app called AIM Keys which I
used to make easier keyboard shortcuts to read messages. The scroll
function being the main one. The Alt+up/down was getting to me. :))
Somehow the shortcut macros (imagine keyboard shortcut macros for
keyboard shortcuts!! LOL) wouldn't work well in the TB main window.
The quick search facility would be annoyingly launched.  I use a
virtual desktop manager and also at time carry a view folder window to
another desktop.

View Folder Window and status line

1999-11-21 Thread Ali Martin

Hi all,
 
 It would be nice if the View Folder window had a little status line
 which indicates the amount of messages in the folder being displayed,
 as well as the number of new messages (which dynamically updates as
 you read the new messages). This would make the window really
 self-contained with all the info one needs. :)
