I don't have a problem with the behaviour.
I'm more particular with being placed in the folder where I left it.
For example, I was reading this thread over again to make a comment with
perspective on the discussion to date, but a new message appeared in my
Inbox.
I selected the Inbox to look at the new message to see if it was
important and did so with full knowledge that when I returned to the TBUDL
folder, that I'd be taken to the last message I was looking at, and NOT,
the one next to or to the oldest unread messages in the folder. It's easy to
find new messages. It's difficult to find an already read message among
thousands, though, mind you there are keystrokes to help with that.
Of course, what tends to disrupt TB! remembering which message you were
last reading in each folder is when you do some sort of maintenance
operation on the message base. This is why I avoid doing that unless
it's really warranted.
Even if I wanted what you wanted, it would be frustrating in a threaded
environment since it's not easy to look at new messages when they're
scattered among threads, many of which are collapsed.
So, in conclusion, the behaviour you wish for is one that would actually
upset me. <g>
But, of course, I have no problem with the behaviour you prefer being
introduced as an option so everyone can be happy. To each their own.
