Well..;-) The problem here is that there should be a "display order" up-down or down-up which should have nothing to do with "sort order". Some people like new mail in the bottom of the screen and some like them in the top. Next for me will also always ( as in most email software ) be the next mail in the sort order. If there is no sort order it should be the next email in arrival order. ( not the previus in display order..;-) Normally i have to think extra and have a look on the screen in order to understand which email i will see if i click "next" > Granted that if one will be using anything but unsorted, enabling server > side sorting would be a goodness if it is available :) > > Speaking of sorting, the one I keep reaching for but not finding is sort > by size.

Happens to me to.. I would say it's a bug.. NOt a big one that really kills you but still a bug ( or a feature..;-) /Sqm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
