Sorry, where did I say that I clicked on the column. I did not do
this. AFAIK, all other mail clients treat this matter, IMHO -
"correctly". Bat! should conform to the standard (at least in this
matter).

No problem at present but will give it a try, but, at the risk of
beating a dead horse, and I think there are plenty who will agree with
me, why should I have to? Why can't Bat! conform to the accepted
standard; i.e. view always to left of pane? Is this so hard to do?
Maybe pedantic ones like me could have a choice?
