Perhaps I prefer it the way it is because I get close to zero spam. But having to mark messages unread can be a problem, I agree. The way I work around this (quite effective, if I may add) is to increase the time limit after which a message is marked read. Change it to around 7-8 seconds. This will give you enough time to delete spam or move on to the next message if you prefer that this one remain unread.

Outlook does this too, and it's an annoyance having to constantly click mark unread when working on client machines. Preview-only-when-selected sounds like a good solution. Let's hope TB!2.0 gets it right (and Microsoft finally figures it out in Outlook 2009). -- zParticle Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It's annoying to have spam or whatever happens to gain focus at startup get tagged read, shown and so-on. There are many work-arounds I can imagine but it would be better IMHO if TB simply did not automatically select a message to view. I'd turn off preview but it is handy and there are issues with viewing messages in a separate window that make it inconvenient and misleading to use. -- Pixie Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 95 4.0 Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I'd like to see the message auto-view supplemented with an option, if turned on, make the message view panel actually be automatic. ..only show if a message is clicked on, and expand the message list account list panels full height otherwise.

Interesting. So you'd only have a full-height message list on first selecting a new folder. I can see a few programming logistics problems, such as re-centering the message header if it was within the lower half of the screen, but from an end-user perspective this sounds like a useful feature. Of course, you can emulate this behavior now with Shift+Ctrl+E. Meanwhile, unless you have a very narrow screen, try the full height account tree (under View, Split Mode). It was a good compromise for me. -- zParticle Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
