I still don't agree with this behavior. It looks totally unnatural. But I
thought maybe it's just MHO, so I starting asking mail users (and a par of
programmers that work with me) about the behavior of the mail client, and I
have to say that I couldn't find one that would think the behavior is OK. One
user said that "the selection is an action that the user should do, not the
aplication".
Also, the selection marker is moving backwards! :-( So I don't get the next
message, but the previous one
So here is my thought about it:
- There has to be an option to how to treat selection after an action has been
executed over the message. The option should, not only be configurable in which
direction to move (forward or backward), but also in if it should select or not
another message. You can leave the default behavior to be "move to the next
message", and let user decide what is best for him/her.
I have to say that without this option, I'm going to have a very hard time
trying to impose RC on our network.
P.D.: Is RC moving to become "Thunderbird inside Firefox"? :-)
