Yes, from a view with only a message list and a folder list, I would like to double click to open in a new window with the html page loaded. A single click would select for purposes of deleting, moving to another folder, replying, selecting more messages,... The single click would not mark the mail read (right clicking would let you mark it as read or important, unmark it...). > > Thinking about this and expanding on my domain-based filtering idea, perhaps > the button could tell the user what domains the mail is trying to fetch from, > and upon pressing it, save these settings (the domain of the image URL) > persistently, so that this domain is whitelisted for all future messages. > Maybe there could be two buttons, one to show the images temporarily, the > other for making it a permanent option.

After about a week I would probably be able to single click to open 70% of my HTML emails. I'd probably still wish it didn't happen for the others but I would be able to have a flow. > > and having > > to scroll to the bottom of a long list of mails to get to the > > newest one, every time I go to a folder. > > This is supposed to work.

When I click on a new folder the list is sorted with the oldest message on top descending to the newest message out of sight several pages down. I just went to my other computer where I have version 0.3.93. It displays logically with the newest message on the bottom sorting older as they go up. This behavior is one of two I think are important, the other being the newest message on top sorting downward. Joseph > > Cheers, > Jan > >
