[M-Dev] explanation of functionality

[Thomas F. <tfi...@on...>]

Just wondering about some functionality:

1- when pressing space to turn off displaying of mail, the user was in 0.63,
able to move around in the folder list with out any messages being shown
until he pressed space again. But it does'nt seem to work like this in
0.64, now it automatically selects the next message and shows it when you
press arrow down to move to the next or previous mail in the list.
Is that a bug or a change in functionality or something else.

2- In [ Preferences | Folder View ] the option "Preview message when
selected" throws me off a bit, The way it works is that if the option is
selected then by double clicking on a mail in the folder listing a new
window pops up and displayes the message there aswell.

What I am wondering about is the definition and terminology used in M. The
pop up window is that what you define as the previewing of a message? and what
do you then call the frame below the folder listing. I have allways assumed
that the frame below the folder listing was the preview window, and
therefore selecting the option, would turn off displaying of a message in
that frame. Another thing is that I think it would be more intuitive if
that option works as a sort of toggle, so either you have the pop-up window
showing the mail or you have the frame showing the mail but not both which
is the case now(when the option is set). But that aside, hwo you define
these two would help me understand the names of the methods in the code aswell

thanks.
