That's no excuse. I need that CTRL+V shortcut (and the other one)
precisely in the message preview window. I've finished reading the
message, I can see it needs to be transferred to this or that folder
-- so I press the kb shortcut, and it's disfunctional! That's
nonsense. As I said, both Outlook (CTRL+Y) and Pegasus (M) support
these kinds of preview window shortcuts, so how can The Bat!, a $35
mail client, afford not to support them?
Currently you need to use ALT+M+M (three keystrokes) in The Bat. And
for moving to another message in the message preview window, you need
to use *four* keystrokes (TAB+TAB+ARROW-DOWN+TAB)! The CTRL+] and
CTRL+[ shortcuts work only for previously unread posts. If this is not
infuriating I don't know what is.

I agree. I'm only interested in TB! as a mail client and don't care
about anything else. However, what I'm saying is that currently, as a
mail client only, The Bat!'s performance in some areas, notably the
keyboard shortcuts, is unsatisfactory. Let us keep our fingers crossed
for version 2.0!
