Thanks. Yes a possible workaround might be making the message pane very
small at the bottom of the screen.

The biggest reason for this workflow is that I prefer to work from the
keyboard and this enables me to go through messages by pressing one key
at a time instead of two.

When reading in the message pane, the 'N' and 'P' keys always return the
focus to the message list and I need to press TAB again before I can use
arrow keys or page up/down to scroll longer messages. So it is two
keystrokes to go to the next message instead of one. Probably sounds
insignificant but it makes a difference to me. If there's another way
to solve this, I'd be open to that.

Thanks for the suggestion
