Allie, I agree with you in that (for me) the most important behavior is returning to the last message selected/viewed. I supposed I can understand why a compress/purge would "break" the pointer to the last viewed message since that operation is acting on the message base. What I don't like is having a filter break the pointer. If I invoke a filter that ends up hiding the last selected message, then remove the filter, why should focus jump to the top? Nothing is being written to the message base, right? Note that I am not selecting any message after applying the filter (otherwise *that* would be the selected message). This most often happens when I want to search a folder for posts from a particular person and then move to another folder without removing the filter. Suddenly, the folder I've just moved to has invoked that filter but I don't want it. Removing the filter (no other action taken on messages in this folder) put me at the top of the message list. -- 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
