I don't think it's a bug, either. But I don't necessarily think the current behavior is logical. Of course, if the last message I was viewing is deleted then I don't expect to see that message! But by your logic, it would be logical if while reading through messages, I deleted a message, the focus jumped to the top of the list. And that certainly doesn't make sense. How about mimicking the behavior of manual deletion? While in the message list, deleting a message brings the focus to the next message. If the message that was deleted was the last one, focus jumps to the previous message. Now *that's* logical... ;) I also do not like the behavior after applying a filter or view to a folder that doesn't produce "hits", then removing the filter (view all) and have the focus jump to the top. This happens most often when I filter a folder, then move to another folder without remembering to clear the view/filter. Ctrl+= is easy enough, but it brings me to the top of the message list. Why? Granted, your argument that it has to go *somewhere* does have merit. But couldn't that be a global option set by the user? The Bat is touted as incredibly powerful and flexible, but in a few small areas (changing the subject line is another example), TB is pretty rigid. I think that returning from a filter or compressing, etc. focus should return to the last message viewed. If not that, then at least let us choose top or bottom. -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
