Outlook Express, I believe, does that. There is even a better shortcut when reading through email. Simply hit the space bar to scroll down through a message. If you are already at the bottom of a message, the next email will automatically open in the same window. I believe this came from Cyberdog first. :-) Here is where it gets interesting, however. If you want to delete that email, simply hold down the <option> key when you hit the space bar at the end of the email. Now, the current email will be deleted when the next email opens. If you want to scroll backwards, hold down the control key, and you will scroll upwards vs down. The control-key trick is unique to OE and Entourage. The others exist in Cyberdog and other emails, and they are worth learning, as they will speed up your email browsing immensely. :-) -- Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." --Mark Twain -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
