The programmer of PMMail is an US citizen. I trust his English
terminology :)

There are few lists where I usually read 10-20 messages, then close the
message window and like to see where the cursor has stopped. Then I try
to estimate how many messages on a given topic are left. Depending on
that number, I eventually continue reading more messages (by opening
them again in a separate window) or jump over in the list.
I am speaking about heavily loaded mailing lists, where a long thread
like "Re: TB! WishList" happens at least once a day :)

Of course not.
Let the user decide - make it selectable.

Romanian.
This can also be observed from my e-mail address ...

Ok, but I (usually) think "What's written in the next message up the
current message ?" which does not exactly corresponds etc..

Probably, but a user interface is a sum of minor things, that makes my
life easier or harder.
Strange, I am somewhat an experienced FIDONET user and The Bat! follows
in certain sense the FIDO message style. However, I cannot follow the
logic here, in the context discussed up now.

No, it's _definitely_ not a bug.
No, I *will* mention any problem I like to mention, as far as the topic
is The Bat! (or whatever specific topic for a given list it may be).
Best wishes,
