Glenn,

I know the hotkeys.  I have a whole bunch of "work arounds"; I've been
using Arachne for a couple of weeks or so ...

The idea is to fix things so that work-arounds are NOT necessary!  I
know that the peculiarities of the "history list" have been discussed
for a couple of years now -- not showing mail last read, including
things like dgi stuff that certainly isn't necessary for the USER; yet
in 2+ years nothing has ever been done about the history list becoming a
user tool, as opposed to the apparent developer tool it might be now.

You like blank screens?  You like "work arounds?"  Fine ... but the
newbies most likely won't.  And, strictly as a matter of principle,
neither do I.

l.d.
