When TB starts and message auto-view = ON, default to preview of no message. Or perhaps if it's ON by default, turn it OFF on initial startup until a message is specifically selected.
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
