I've basically done that with Forte' Agent but not yet with TB!. A lot
of the keyboard shortcuts are too tedious. :-)

50%? I know that there are inconsistencies but 50%. :-) You're upset
aren't you? :-)

The only thing that you can do with TB! toolbars is move them to
different parts of the window. Just hold the toolbar and drag it around.
When the frame suddenly gets skinny, it means that the toolbar is
dock-able at the present location. It will dock at the edges of the
windows and other places as well. You may even have the toolbars float
because they will remember their positions.

This is true and I've brought this up before myself.

I'm battling over this myself. :-)

My logic runs along the same vein.

Urhm, now this is different. CTRL+C and CTRL+V copy and paste text, so
if you are in the message body area, they'll adopt those functions.
Highlight the message in the message list and they'll do as you desire
above (ie, copy and move the message to another folder). This is
consistent throughout.

But CTRL-C will copy text blocks. There's a conflict there. They should
not have used conflicting shortcuts. It's untidy to me. They should have
used unconflicting shortcuts so that they could work whether or not the
message body or the message list is in focus.

This is a upcoming version 2 feature. :-/ I know, it's beginning to
sound like a broken record but that's really all I can say. :-)

So is Forte' Agent. :-)
