It's not difficult but I wouldn't say that it's "so easy" neither. Worse, I'm afraid that some people would be unhappy with this as well: "why isn't the folder I select opened immediately?" or "why if I move too slowly through the tree is the folder I don't want to open opened?". Please enter this into the bug tracker and I'll think about it when I have time for it but it's surely not something I'm going to in the near future. Of course, if someone else wants to do this, it's another story. DK> > You can scroll by line by pressing Enter. DK> DK> This is VERY counter-intuitive and limited.

I agree that Enter is not intuitive and I'll try to use space for this instead but I personally would *hate* having to focus the viewer to scroll it. Right now you can read several unread messages by just using PgDn or Enter (i.e. *1*) key, it would be a huge step backwards to require using Tab to do this.

This depends on the bug 609 but once it is done it should be possible to implement it relatively easily - please add it to the bug tracker, thanks.
