So it is.
Which makes me curious, what is OE doing in the same circumstances?
I'm breathing a little easier now because I just found a workaround that
works for me: command-option-delete. So I guess this "problem" just morphed
into a feature request: the ability to set auto-select behaviour. Ideally I
envision this type of settings, preferably for each mailbox/folder:
__ Next by sort (chronological) -->
_Read _Unread _Flagged _Category (pulldown) _None
__Next in list-->
_Read _Unread _Flagged _Category (pulldown) _None
Dream a little dream indeed... =8^]
Thanks David/
Peter.
