Bruno, The way I got around this was to change the View settings for the folder to Display only New Messages - then all the read ones vanish from sight. To restore all messages to View afterwards simply press Ctrl+= and they are all back in sight. -- Cheers, Anne Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 98 4.10 Build Visit The Bat!

Expanding threads - revisited
Is there any way to have TB automatically expand *all* threads in a folder each time TB is launched? ie. Never collapse threads automatically. Or a way to have it automatically expand threads currently being read and collapse others? Searching the menus and help file threads section I also can't find any thread navigation commands (menu or keyboard). Don't know why I can't find a command to take me to the first unread message in the current thread. It also gets a little confusing and tiring having all messages in the thread marked in the unread font/colour when there is only a single new message. I can understand that when the thread is collapsed, but when expanded it would be much nicer (for me) to have only the actual new message marked this way. Anyone know if mail to TB's wish email address is finally being delivered?

Unfortunately not.

Yes, with the navigation keys when you move to next unread messages,
the threads will be autoexpanded to achieve this.
BF Searching the menus and help file threads section I also can't
BF find any thread navigation commands (menu or keyboard).
These are in the view folder windows. If you double click on a
message, it will appear in another window. This is a view folder
window that can be used to browse the folder in which the displayed
message resides. To see the message list for the folder, go to the
View menu and select Message list.
On the View Folder window menu is the Navigation menu that contains
the commands and the respective keyboard shortcut.
To move to the next unread message, use either CTRL-Alt-Right or
CTRL-]. Note that you're now navigating using the message list
associated with the view folder window and not the main windows
message list.
BF It also gets a little confusing and tiring having all messages
BF in the thread marked in the unread font/colour when there is
BF only a single new message.
This is one way of knowing that there's an unread message in the
thread if it's collapsed. The message flag (the envelop icon) will
tell which of the messages are read.
BF Anyone know if mail to TB's wish email address is finally being
BF delivered?
No, I don't. But have you tried here:
https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/login_page.php
When you logon, you'll see a drop down menu list in the right upper
corner of the page that takes you to The Bat! Wishes. This page is
official and is viewed by the developers.

Of course, after Allie wrote that reply, I saw that the navigation commands were also in the context menu when clicking on a threaded message. I could have sworn I looked in there before (i's the first place I would assume to look). Two issues remain: first unread message in current thread, and the over-enthusiastic highlighting of messages when only one is actually unread. (This second issue may be just a matter of getting used to it, though...) Navigating to the first undread message in the current thread would be helpful in some circumstances, IIRC, and it would probably make sense to mark the current message unread before moving.
