The 'a' keybinding, (in turn), was designed for cases when you *know* you don't want to read the rest of the thread. That was the original idea behind these two, at least. In any case, it's doing exactly what it's defined to do. Perhaps you're just missing a key for archiving the current message (and advancing to the next)? I know there are various problems with the current keybindings—and several obviously-missing operations. And it's funny how long I've put up with shortcomings rather than just fixing them. I'll be glad to look at proposals for improving things. -Carl -- carl.d.wo...@intel.com
