Thanks. This is how I understood it. It's clear to me that Previous is
UP the list and Next is DOWN the list. I can work that way with no
problem. The problem is that I have users that I have to support that use
Squirrelmail and I have to explain it to them. (My problem, I know)
Previous / Next by date would be some users preference, and I understand
that it's not there yet. No big deal to me. I just thought that maybe it
was there and I couldn't find it.

I agree. Not a big problem, but something that some users might
appreciate some minor changes in.
