Ah - the Help file says that Shift+Ctrl+* opens all the threads - which is where the problem with the laptop may lie. > RD> It would be much better if I could configure TB to read through > RD> closed threads as I spacebar through. > You can read through the threads but not with the space bar.

Not here they don't.

I would if I could, but I haven't yet found the way to do it. I can now expand threads in the message window, but not in the main window. What is the point of the blue arrow icons in the main window toolbar if they only go between thread starts? They are called 'next' and 'previous', but I am unable to make them read through a thread. Even though the thread may be expanded in the message list, I can't seem to expand it in the main window and the 'next' button goes to the next thread. Perhaps it would help if someone could tell me what spacebar and the arrow icons are actually supposed to do? Are they configureable? A three button key press (Ctrl-Alt-Right arrow) is not an option for me to read through my mail - neither is not using threading. My current mail reader (Pluto on RISC OS) allows me to click on an icon to quickly go through unread mail in threads. Agent lets me use the space bar to do a similar thing with news on the PC.
