Hmmm... I had been trying just fn-left arrow which didn't work. I'm on my
desktop now but I'll try it again later on the PowerBook to see if the
command key makes any difference.
Regardless, it's still an extra step that I have to remember to do each time
I read unread messages in a folder. After working in OE for so long, (at
least 2 years, maybe longer) remembering this extra step (whether it's the
home key or double clicking on the "sent" column or whatever) is something
that is just not coming naturally and I'm frustrated because in general I
really like Entourage over OE but this one thing really bothers me.
I posted the question hoping that this could be scripted or worked around in
some way without my having to totally change the way I work. Not too much to
ask, right? <g>

I've been clicking out and in to the folder to find the missed message(s),
which is usually totally out of sequence from the messages I've already
read.

Exactly! Well said. Thank you.
