I feel I may be missing something. What was the num pad issue?
thanks.

Lots of people don't like using the preview pane but I love it. From within
the message list, if you have "Preview pane" checked under the view menu,
simply tab and start a say all and you're right in the message. Then
shift+tab back to the list of messages, or even hit delete right away and
you're immediately moved to the next message. Works great, and if you're
set to read all messages in plain text I shouldn't think it would be
insecure.
