Ah, now I get it. He hadn't mentioned it was a separate window. This was
actually discussed not so long ago (see the list archives). The problem
is that the message list order can be threaded, or the result of a
search (not to mention watching a different folder, or even a completely
different account). Also, you can order it by arrival date or by sent
date or by Subject or sender or ... Furthermore, you can have multiple
Evo windows at the same time, using different orderings. How is the
separate message window to know what you mean by "next"? It has to
assume "next message in arrival order in the same folder as the current
message".
