David,
Just FYI.
Even with the preview pane open, you can still do all of the things
you mentioned, with fewer keystrokes than by opening additional child
windows. (I don't see the how the distinction matters in this case,
BTW.) Tab/Shift-Tab moves back and forth between the tables without
hitting the preview pane. VO-J jumps into the message and begins
reading it. VO-J jumps you back to the messages and does *not*
require you to reinteract with the messages table, which saves me a
keystroke. Pressing delete while the message is reading deletes the
message and automatically puts you back in the message list, just like
doing it from an opened window.
So, whichever way you choose, it's more a matter of personal
preference I think than what is actually a pain or not. I think this
is important, because a lot of people will pay attention if ou tell
them something is a pain and never try it. In this case, it's just a
matter of personal taste, not any tangible difference.

first, you are not opening and closing windows, you are opening and
closing child windows and for me this is much better and fewer
keystrokes because I often tab between the mailbox list and the
messages list and the paine of a payne gets in the way. Yes, this
is somewhat of a holdover from my windows days but I like the feel
of a clean interface, only two columns to tab between when I want to
tab. I press enter on a message, command-w to close or delete to
delete and I'm back in the list.
