Why use vo J? I don’t know about the preview pain, but I use the first method ever introduced with standard view. I use control tab, to get to message content of a thread, and if it is a single message,I just press inter to read it. When in the message content area of a thread, when finshed, I just push shift tab twice to get me back to the messages list. I am also using my favorites 1 through 9 so there is no inter acting or having to jump back and forth to different tables to get to the desired mail box.
