>What drives me nuts here the most is that I'm constantly having to go to the mouse and the whole day-at-a-time orientation of the message base. I know I can use the Map of the thread, but it appears in place of the message. When I read my CompuServe messages, I hit the spacebar to get to the next message, not click on a Next button.

Hi Tamar,

Actually you can right-click on Map link and open it in a new browser window. You may resize window and place it somewhere up, then when you navigate in it the messages will appear in the main UT window in their usual place. The same way you may navigate through the list of messages obtained from the search.
