Because focus does not shift back to the folder view in this case, so the next keystrokes apply to the viewer selection dialogue. My personal experience is that this only happens by accident and is never desired. Note that the problem arises in part because the viewer selection list opens downward. Here is yet another proposal. When a viewer is selected, could focus be automatically returned to the folder view? This would be a complete fix, I think.

I also like this, but there shd be a keystroke to get in and out. Sometimes it is desirable to select and copy text from a msg, and afterwards there shd be a quick (non-mouse) exit. Related to this, is it currently possible to ask Mahogany to display the raw msg text in the editor of my choice rather than in what I assume is Mahogany's text viewer? (I.e., to change the behavior of ctrl-z in this way.) And since I'm so loquacious today, let me explore another idea: can we have a faster way to move through the raw msg txt w/o reaching for the mouse? (Currently ctrl-z shows the raw msg text with focus on the Close button, and it takes two ctrl-tab strokes to enter the main window. I think putting focus on the main window would be better, as long as hitting <esc> would still close the window, and then tabbing should cycle through the buttons *and* the main window.) In other words, after ctrl-z: i. focus would be in the main window, so that one can immediately either a. page down or b. tab to the Save button, but ii. <esc> would (as now) immediately close the window. It seems to me this either reduces or leaves unchanged the number of keystrokes required for every action. Fwiw.
