Dear Larry: Several of the things you want are already there. What PowerMail REALLY needs is a good users' manual so starters like you don't get so frustrated. > >1.

Click on one and the message is deleted and you go to the next or previous message. This is a little extra effort if you are looking at a single message, but is very handy when you have opened a bunch of them. You can delete them one by one by holding one finger on the option key and clicking the mouse with the other hand. >2. A way to toggle between REPLY and REPLY ALL after I have selected >reply.

Hold it down and click on the little girl with the left arrow in the toolbar and you will have a choice. > >3.

It is necessary to have the messages sorted by date, oldest first. And, of course, it's not automatic. You have to remember to use it. I hope this helps.
