Say you're tackling a thread of unread messages in your unread message virtual folder or whatever? You read the first message in the thread. You then read the second and wish to review something in the first message. Oops. The first message is no longer in the view. IOW's, it can be really counterproductive having the view display only unread messages at all times, even while actively browsing. How the virtual folder view handles this issue is the way it really aught to work. -- -= Curtis =- The Bat! v3.61.05 Echo (Beta) / http://specs.aimlink.name PGPKey: http://rsakey.aimlink.name ...Fad: In one era and out the other.
