Hello Avenarius,
On Tuesday, September 19, 2000 at 01:50:38 GMT +0200 (which was 4:50 PM
where I live) witnesses say Avenarius typed:

Until today, I had never used the Ctrl-Shift-E shortcut. But you are
right, the position is not sticky. However, I don't know many
programs that remember settings to old arrangements after they've been
changed. However, I don't see your point about *needing* to toggle
this pane. If you're using the preview pane, then why do you want a
full message list? I'm not criticising. With such a strong
statement, I want to understand the logic before going into attack
mode (as Ming-Li pointed out). :-)

This one is sticky on my system.

Remember, this is not the Opera browser mailer. Other mailers may
have features that are not supported by TB. Likewise, many other
mailers don't have features that TB supports. Does this mean one is
inferior to the other? No, it reflects the priorities and the
decisions that the programmers have to make. It also means that we
end users have a large variety of choices of mailers that can suit our
needs. Switching from one program to another is usually difficult
simply because we grow accustomed to one style. What you must keep in
mind as you evaluate TB is, are there enough good points for you to
stick around?
As users, we must choose what is most important to us and find
the program that best suits our styles. No one program is likely to
have *everything* that a given individual wants. In the end, the
program will reflect the personality and the needs of the
developer(s).

TB is not known for the lack of keystrokes if you want to use the
keyboard shortcuts.

Have you sent in an official bug report? You can post it to the
TBBETA mailing list.
