>Just one minor complaint: I still don't like having to check the messages to view. I preferred them showing up in the lower half below the headers... but if we can only view 20 at a time, I guess that makes sense.
The batch mode will not apply to checking anything. It will be the same as before but transactional by batches of 20 when the user click "See the next 20 messages" at the bottom or something like that.
