Ditto. A former ElM guy, I might add, and pretty much a disdainer of
graphical mail clients (e.g., Netscape Messenger).

Also with you there. It's bad enough I have to work in WindBlows NT
at work, where it's a favorite activity of a lot of apps to raise
windows and grab keyboard focus (can you say "typing 'the squash was a
bit 's' 't' 'r' 'i' 'n' 'g'...'Are you sure you wanted to delete the
directory and all its contents? _y_es _n_o' 'y'...Oops, I just deleted
half my hard disk's contents!?) Imagine if you had a macro tied to
'd' that did 'd$' or <delete><resynch> (or whatever the functions are
named; the idea is no undelete because you're supposed to know what
you're doing)...then all the sudden, your cursor is bumped to your new
message just before you hit that 'd'...bye bye new message.
I also cannot grasp too tightly why there's a "snap pointer to default
answer" for popup button dialogs feature, which can make the cursor
jump all around the screen due to many of these popping up in short
order. I'm not so lazy that I need the computer to do this for
me. :^) :^) :^)
