Yes, I agree.

What is the list of "displayed messages"? I thought we'd just keep the
list of the last selections to use them as the history for back/forward
commands.

Well, I don't have time to do it right now but at least I've implemented
the part about using unread messages first - I expect this option to be
a bit less obnoxious now. I'm still not sure about how useful it is, though
(even with your enhancement above).

Yes, this would be nice. I think there is already a bug report about this.

You could also have an option "don't mark message as read if it was
selected for less than <N> seconds" but I think it's simpler just to not
use "select initial message" option.
Thanks for your ideas!
