For those of us who use the mouse almost exclusively we would save two steps and a lot of mouse movement (away from the active area of focus) in using the menus (move to menu, click, drag to menu option vs. click, plus you stay in the browse window where your focus is.) Biggie? No, but for those of us with the attention span of a nat it would be nice :) >>Further, the >>currently displaying mode could be highlighted somehow so you could see >>that you are only showing unread messages.

Update to a 5.2 beta. :) Heh, I was kinda hoping to skip this beta cycle (so much else going on). However, probably should help out since I use this program several hundred times a day. Well, guess not... I just tried it but it crashes on my system at launch. I've reported it to the testing list. >>Oh, and of course I still would be SO HAPPY to have the ability to turn >>off the darn double-click to launch URL "feature" so I can once again >>easily copy all the dang urls I work with daily. :) (and, just to be >>clear, if turned off Cmd-Click would launch URL's just as double-click >would). > >Again, I agree with this.

Somebody please make it go away! :) Lane Roathe President Ideas From the Deep <http://www.ifd.com> ___________________________________________________________________ If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made with meat?
