Hi,

It just occurred to me that there is a quick, easy and intuitive solution
to the view all/view only unread issue.

How about allow the user to click on the "xxxx messages" to show all
messages, and the "xxx unread" to show only unread messages. Further, the
currently displaying mode could be highlighted somehow so you could see
that you are only showing unread messages. In the case of 0 unread
messages one extra adjustment would be needed, and that would be to show
"0 unread" if "show unread only" was currently active on that folder.

This would seem to allow for easily switching between the views w/o the
keyboard (which I find awkward... I never use accelerators for the most
part), as well as having a quick and easy to spot indicator of which view
is active. Should help when you can't find that file you trashed but you
are only view unread in the trash folder. :)

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).
