Yes, that's a good and useful feature; but here again there's a
problem for keyboard users. First you <mouse> to the Ticker and
open a message. Then after you open a folder as above, the message
list no longer contains messages other than the ones for that
folder. So to open a different folder, it's back to the Ticker with
the <mouse>. Now repeat for every folder.
The Agent way, that's the one built on a huge consensus, with years
of feedback, and yet with flexibility to allow for a wide variety
of approaches. Why is it necessary to reinvent the wheel with each
new program that comes along?
Interestingly, the Japanese programs Datula and EdMax both
implement the Agent way, pretty much, even though neither author
really spent much time with Agent. It just came about naturally,
because they decided to allow for complete keyboard-based
operation.
