But if you're staying within the mail component, you're not switching
components, right? That was my complaint. Like I just click from one
mail folder to another and everything redraws. Can't you just _not_
notify bonobo / the toolbar / whatever that you're changing components,
when you click on a folder that's the same type as the current
component? Am I being unclear, or am I misunderstanding your use of the
word "component?" Sorry if I'm just being dense. :-)

Thanks again,
