Paul,

apologies if I've not use bugzilla correctly (first time I've ever used it) , I
reopened the bug and added some comments in the comment box there, I missed the
little reply button on your response which I'm using now.

I added a prev button to the tool bar and with the dates in reverse order they
are indeed selected. (Talking about in the same folder here)

This may be working as designed, but it does strike me as a little odd still.
There might also be a danger of someone missing a mail as they would assume
that there were no more unread if the indication did not move to another
message. It was only because I saw more unread in the list that I noticed that
no other messages were being selected. I then scanned through the folders
looking for bold text indicating that there were unread and found quite a few.
Fortunately they were all newsfeeds so on no great importance.  

To my thinking a next unread function should simply go the then next unread
message in the list and disregard the sorting order on the dates, at least
certainly within a folder. 

I can see the use of a next previous if someone reads one or two messages in a
folder then skips to another folder and reads a few there, it's not the way I
work,  but it still seems risky in terms of missing something. 

Perhaps what is needed is a next (which disregards sorted orders,  next forward
and next previous. 

Again apologies if I've got hold of the wrong end of the stick on this.

Andy
