This is possible, but you may need to assign a key to it. Under the "View" menu, find the options for "Prev Message" and "Next Message". Hover the mouse pointer over the option, and enter a keystroke to bind to the command. This should work n all GTK+ apps. > * When you scroll highlight a message in the message list, you can't just > press Backspace to nuke the message. Try pressing the Delete key.

I hope they fix it soon. > As soon as I get 8.2 installed I'll give Sylpheed another week and then > try Evolution. I'm using Sylpheed Claws, which is a development version of Sylpheed. I strongly suggest that you give it a try. It contains many features that are not present in the official release, and is usually quite stable. > Miark > > > On Thu, 21 Mar 2002 01:00:36 -0500, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> spoke > thusly: > > > Well when I had problems doing what I wanted to do in Evolution, I > > switched to Sylpheed.
