    Yes, if you mean what I think you mean. And thanks for reminding
    me that all this began with Forte Agent (a program I still use
    every day for news). There's a program that pioneered one-key
    navigation, by a careful process that involved listening to the
    users and implementing their wishes in a most rational way. The
    only mystery is why other programs (like MS Outlook/OE) don't
    adopt a similar navigation interface.

    One improvement that a few programs have made on the Agent
    navigation scheme is to start the search back from the top of the
    tree when no more unread messages exist below the current
    location. Other than that, it's perfect. Just emulate it!
