That's interesting.  Using the folder to get back to the message list causes 
no problem.  But using the BACK button causes the message list to be 
corrupted.  I'm afarid I don't know enough about the architecture here, but 
maybe someone knows the answer:

When the user hits the BACK button within the framework of sqwebmail:

1) Does the browser look only in a local cache for the previous page?  Thus 
Apache and sqwebmail could not be responsible for the curruption.

2) Or does sqwebmail still get invoked in someway. For example, maybe 
sqwebmail does a re-authentication when going back to the message list?

Thanks for any insight,

Chris
