 Ok, going to next unread is logical. I'm less sure about scrolling,
although I can understand that you might want it for this case as well.

 I don't even know if Windows provides it. At least the list control in the
explorer doesn't behave like this.

 Still, whatever is the best solution, I think it would be nice to do what
I proposed, i.e. show the next few messages at least when opening the
folder. If a function to do it is added to wxFolderListCtrl, then it could
be also called from GoToNextUnread() and maybe from other places in the
future.

 Thanks,
