Hello Tom,

I disagree. In terms of navigation, TB does exactly what you tell it
to do. Even if that is not what you meant to tell it, but that is a
operator error. There is no way for a program to fix all of those,
and remain useful.

The only way that cross-folder navigation could be any easier is if
they add the "jump to next unread message in any folder" feature. I
believe RIT has said they are adding it to version 2.

What is special about it? I haven't used Agent to any great extent. I
only used it for *very* limited news reading. Please explain, so we
can discuss the relative merits of some of Agent's navigational
features.

I could see that being very useful. That and an undo command for
when I accidentally move a message to the wrong folder (including trash).

I should think so. Why do you need the duplication? TB should do
what one tells it to do. So if I tell TB to open a folder, TB should
not assume that I want to go to any message other than the one that
was last open. However, if I use the "goto next unread message in
any folder" command, then I am telling TB to find the next unread
message, open the folder in which it resides, and select said
message. In other words, TB is doing exactly what I told it to do.
