This is still the case, and I found an additional annoyance. If all threads are collapsed, I have a message near the bottom of the message list selected, and I hit Ctl-E to expand all threads, all of a sudden, I am up near the top of the message list. I suspect if I was on the N'th entry, I am now still on the N'th entry - but it had been only counting threads, and now it is counting all messages. Is there any reasonably easy way to have it scroll so the selected item/message is still in the middle of the displayed section? > Thanks for saving my sanity. Still the case. Jack
