At the moment, my main concern is getting a small bug fixed.  Seems that 
most of the the time when I go to a new newsgroup, I can't use 'next', 
either keyboard, or icon, to go to the next unread message.  I have to 
go back to the header pane and click the next message.  Note that I 
don't use the message pane, but open a window to read messages.
This also happens any time I go outside the message window for anything, 
like writing a reply, or checking Firefox for something.
It looks like the focus isn't getting reset to the message window.

Being able to customize the quick-filers bar would be nice.
