Hi,

I posted a bug on bugzilla[0] and was told to send my patch here. I
basically want to make my life easier with the keyboard on evolution.
This is a simple patch to auto-focus the message list when you select
a folder in the folders list.

By doing this I can use the keyboard most of the time with no need to
use the mouse to click the message list. Here's the patch:

I don't really agree with Andre that this should be an option, at least
not one to be available through the normal UI. Maybe a gconf key is in
order, but even then I'm not sure. I think this is just a sane default.

Thanks,
