Morning All Y'All!

 Because  of the lack of a better activity, and testing being a hobby of mine,
 I  felt  like doing a little testrun over The Bat interface. Here's what came
 out:  Request  for Comment/Confirmation before "official" submission ;-) Some
 might be known already, but are still there for completeness. I'm also likely
 to  have  overseen some. Excuse the structure (and that table out of standard
 boundary  that  may  make it unviewable in message autoview), it's the best I
 could  do  without  getting  all too wordy :-P Talking about getting wordy...
 Geez, I like writing disclaimers.

[area of effect]
- bug
* inconsistency
+ suggestion
/ note

[message flag marking]
 -   marking messages as read/unread seems to block all program threads. Try
     this: go to a folder with many messages, select all, and do a mark as
     read/unread. While the process is active, you can't do anything else with
     TB. Actions with other applications are no problem however. Bug or
     technical necessity?

[navigation of hierarchy structures]
 *   inconsistent key bindings and handling in folder hierarchy, message threading and
     address book:

key            account                          message                          
address book
(combo)        tree                             thread

Ctrl+*         opens lower level (like *)       opens all threads fully          does 
nothing (unlike *)
Ctrl+Plus      open lower level (like Plus)     open all lower branches          does 
nothing (unlike plus)
Left           move to next higher hierarchy    closes lower levels (like        like 
in account tree
                                                Minus)
Right          open lower level and move to     open lower level and move to     1st 
press: open lower level
               first in sublevel                first in sublevel                2nd 
press: move to first in sublevel
Alt+Space      opens window menu                opens window menu and lower      opens 
window menu
                                                branch



 /   as alt+space opens the window-menu it shouldn't open lower branches -
     double effect isn't good :)

[navigation and other commands generally]
 *  inconsistencies from folder view window and folder/message view in main
    window

key            folder                           main
(combo)        view                             window

Ctrl+Up/Down   follow to next message           does nothing
(with focus    in message view
 on msg text)

Ctrl+C         does not work                    works as expected
in HTML view   (Ctrl+Ins works though)


 +   suggestions on additional keys:

Alt+PgUp/PgDn  scroll message view up/down pagewise (like Alt+up/down does it
               linewise)

[Folder view window]
 *-  right-click context menu on message view: the option "Show RFC-822
     Headers" doesn't show the checked marker when on. Inconsistent with message
     view in main window, where this does work.

[internal image viewer]
 -    the  arrow keys won't work for scrolling a image larger than the viewing
      window
