I agree with you but I deal with this in a different way from
you. I too agree that TB!'s way of returning you to the last open
message is the correct default behaviour. In fact it doesn't seem to
do this reliably especially if you were to close and reopen TB! which
is annoying. :)
I use my Inbox to only contain new sundry messages. As soon as
some messages are read, they are filtered to their respective folders.
As soon as others are replied to, they are filtered to their
respective folders. Going through the Inbox is therefore just with the
use of the spacebar.
I use a single folder for unread TB! related mail whether it
be TBUDL or TBBETA. Manual read and automatic replied filters keep
this folder empty so that only new mail is kept there.
My other mailing list has a new mail folder as well and I use
a read filter to move messages to the archive folder which is a
sub-folder of the new messages folder.
This all seems a hassle but it's a set and forget thing. It's
not something I do everyday and it certainly avoids a lot of
keystrokes and maintains good folder behaviour in terms of returning
you to the last message and not a new message. :)
