Why is the folder list panel so gormless?

If the mail folder that was selected when Entourage X last quit was further
than about a third of the way down the folder list, next time I launch
Entourage the whole panel is scrolled up so that half of it's contents are
hidden from view. Little things like that really annoy.

AppleScript can spread balm on this irritation by setting the displayed
content of the window to a folder higher up the list as part of a startup
schedule, but it still looks a bit klutzy.

The plus side is that scripting the folder that's displayed at startup has
prompted me to go a little further and check through my mail folders in
order of precedence, displaying the first one that has unread content. Nice.

On a side note, my first approach was to try changing the displayed folder
in a quit shedule. No dice. The browser window gets closed before the script
runs, and the displayed content cannot be set. Even the supremely kludgy
tactic of re-opening the browser window first didn't cut it. Entourage went
through the motions, but next time it started up, the displayed folder was
the one from before the script ran.

Why that way round? My gut feeling is that it would make more sense if quit
shedules were run before windows were closed and states saved.


Cordially,

Mr Tea
