If the Inbox is sorted in descending date order (most recent at top of
list), and if you're reading the oldest new message, the next key will not jump to the next oldest unread message, but to the newest unread message. Specifically: Inbox: Unread message 3, date 11:00 Unread message 2, date 10:00 Unread message 1, date 9:00 I you read message 1, then click Next, TB will take you to message 3. It should take you to message 2, which is the next message. Right? Z |

In your example, if you are reading message 1 the next unread is message 3, because its at the top of the list, it then proceeds down the list to 2. If you want them to be read and Next to function in the manner you envisage, then sort in ascending order -- Mozilla Champion UFAQ - http://www.UFAQ.org Mozilla Champions - http://mozillachampions.mozdev.org Mozilla Manual - http://mozmanual.mozdev.org/ |

The behavior of Next is wrong. Next should take me to the next mail message, no matter how the display is sorted. If I'm reading the 9am message, the next one is the 10am message, not the 11am message. Can anyone report a bug in Bugzilla (and is that where this would be reported?) |

You need a Bugzilla account, which is available to anyone. Research your potential bug thoroughly, to be sure you are not submitting a dupe, and that it really is a bug. Personally, i agree with Dan, this is not a bug, just the program functioning in a way with which you don't agree. That's just my opinion though. Lee |
