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.

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.
