At the risk of putting too fine a point on this minor issue, one area  
where the "Toggle" nomenclature falls down (and then time for a  
rest)...

If the mbox has both Read and Unread messages and you do:

Mailbox/Select All/Toggle/Unread

Balsa 2.2.5 doesn't actually "toggle" the msgs, which would imply  
Read2Unread and Unread2Read.  Balsa changes the status of ALL the msgs  
to Unread (which can then be changed to Read by a second Toggle/Unread,  
as pointed out).

So, in that sense, it is functioning more as a "mark" than a "toggle",  
imo.  Again, this may be academic, but is likely to be obtuse for the  
average user.
