Hi Thomas,
Summary follows of what I learned about shortcut keys (including the Ctrl-],
which seemed to change its function).

This used to work for me until I installed version 1.53. It was a very
convenient keystroke to use for browsing the new messages.

I had no idea that there was a separate setting for the view window!

I had not used this much, since I am usually only reading solitary
messages. This solves an annoyance I had with the View windows. Titles
of new messages show the addressee, so if I'm working on several, I can
easily find particular ones on the task bar/list. Messages I am viewing
only say the name of the folder, I.E. "View Folder The Bat of Jerry".
If I have several messages displayed from the same folder, I cannot tell
which message is which by the frame title. The frame title makes sense
if one has the 'message list' option selected. (Although, it would be
nice to have some distinguishing information (sender?) in the title).

On my version (1.53d, win98) the Ctrl left & right arrows just move
between words. I DID find that the Ctrl up & down now move backwards
and forwards through the thread or new messages... once I set the "by
reference" option. The Alt left & right work for me as in a browser ...
moving back and forth through the history of viewed messages.
What else I learnt...
1. <enter> on the first message does not enable the Ctrl arrow keys for
browsing by thread.
2. hitting the hot key to browse the message in the
ticker always places me in the 'last' message, so only Ctrl-up gets the
next un-read message.
3. Using the 'by reference' and 'message list'
options in the View windows, THEN the Ctrl-] works to go to the next
message. If I don't show the message list, (or I <TAB> to the text) the
Ctrl-] doesn't work when viewing the message only. This DID work in
version 1.47. It was nice.
Thanks everyone,
Jerry
