Tabbing; "Catch up"

[ericbaber]

Hi Wilson,

It'd be great to be able to tab back and forth between the different views. It works to some extent but not completely. E.g. when I select a message header, then hit tab, it takes me to the actual message and I can then scroll down the message using the arrow, in order to read it. However, when I try to back-tab so I can carry on going through the message headers, I can't. (Does that make sense?!)

Also, it'd be good to have a Catch Up feature so you can mark all the unread messages in a folder as read. Some newsgroup programs I use allow you to right-click on the folder name in the left-hand bar and then choose Catch Up - that marks all the messages in that folder as read.

Cheers

Hi Eric,

>However, when I try to back-tab so I can carry on going through the message headers, I can't.

Have you tried full screen mode yet? Try it, you'll like it. Just double click on any message in the message list.

>Also, it'd be good to have a Catch Up feature so you can mark all the unread messages in a folder as read.

Right click in message list pane to get context menu. Choose 'Mark as Read'. OK, you have to do the highlighting yourself. Maybe I should have a 'Mark all as Read' option?

Cheers,

Wilson.

Hi Wilson,

Ah, the full-screen mode is good, yes. The tabbing feature might still be a good one, but full-screen does pretty much what I wanted to be able to do.

Yes, a "Mark all as read" option was what I was suggesting really - some call it Catch Up, others call it Mark All As Read.

Cheers

From your description it sounded like what you wanted.

We'll add a 'Mark all as read' feature when Alex gets back from his holidays.

Cheers,

Wilson,

I'm a relatively new user and I'm wondering if the mark all as read feature got added as I have a lot of archived messages to mark as read at the moment and I can't find it?

If you right click in the message list pane, it should be there as an option.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Sorry,

Didn't  realize it was:

Click first message
Shift Click to select last message
mark as read.

I was looking for a mark all as read.

My mistake.

Mark,

I'm going to add a Mark All facility to the changes queue.

Cheers,
