That's the order in which I read also, in a View Folder window. And I use the "Follow Previous" toolbar button to move up to the next unread message. Prior to v. 3.5, if my memory isn't too far wrong, the button would not bring up another message when there were no more unread messages. Instead, nothing happened--the currently viewed message stayed in the window. Then came a period with the new interface where the focus jumped randomly anywhere in the folder. At least, consistently now it goes to the bottom of the message list. For me, since I thread by none, this means that I always see the first message in my folder--which happens to be a TB! Welcome Message from 2002. Then (by now it's automatic), I click the Follow Next button and I'm back at the top. I would prefer the old behavior, where the window stayed open, focused on the last read message when there are no more unread messages left. I would find a dialogue box a distraction. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.62.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
