You are right. This one is not so important for me especially when
suggestion #1+#2 is implemented .....
My motivation for my suggestions is my way of reading messages:
- download messages from server
- select a folder with unread messages (mouse)
- select any message in the message pane (because I can't expand
threads when the focus is on the folder pane)
- press <CTRL-*> (to expand threads)
- select first message in the message pane (use scroll bar)
- press <CTRL-RIGHTARROW> to jump to first unread message
- read message with <SPACE>
- press <CTRL-RIGHTARROW> to jump to next unread message (or press
<SPACE> if next message is unread)
.... repeat
In Agent this is:
- download news from server
- select topmost group (folder)
- read first unread message by pressing <SPACE>, the message pane
expands threads automatically. <SPACE> jumps to the next folder with
unread messages, too. (Configuration option: "Skipping to next unread
message jumps to first unread message in next group (uncheck to return
to Groups+Folders pane when done with a group")
IMO should TheBat look at Agent and get a little bit of it's user
interface..... (especially when TheBat V2.0 will try to compete with
Agent).
