On Mine Evo 1.4.5 It's mapped as "[" and "]" keys by default. Not too bad. However, I would _really_ like to have a keyboard shortcut for going to Next Message (regardless of read/unread status). YOu know.. like going through the flow of messages to gain context after a new message pops up in that thread. There's a mouse shortcut key for that on the window pane but if there's a keyboard alternative, That would be even better. > alternatives.
