True, but a bit of apples and oranges as a comparison.  Explorer is
*not* an e-mail program.  Agent, however, which is both an e-mail
program and a news reader, shifts the focus from the folder to the
message list when you double-click on a folder.  Try it if you don't
believe me.  And Agent has been around longer than TB, and is
arguably more popular, certainly as far as for reading news. So the
non-standard argument doesn't really stand up to careful scrutiny.

TB is not a file manager, like Explorer.  It is an e-mail program,
like Agent.  And just about anyone will tell you that Agent is miles
easier to navigate with -- mostly one-key shortcuts and spacebar
scrolling both through the message and the list.  There are some
things that TB could do better, IMO.

Best,
