A while back you mentioned that you would be including an ignore option in the new SI. How goes this? I figure I don't win my bet with Cheeky until it's actually implemented <g>.

Currently, you support thread reading one message at a time and 10 at a time. Why not 100 at a time? Or any other number the user prefers. I still use BrowseMaster because of this feature (and a couple of others but mainly this one).

Maybe not lately, but many have expressed this same sentiment on this thread but have gotten no response. Is it because you don't think it would provide any benefit, or because you've written the 10 at a time routine in a way which does not readily support being made more flexible, or consumes too much server CPU or Disk I/O?

My guess is the latter, and I strongly suspect it's related to the ongoing problem users of 10-at-a-time have with keeping track of which messages have been read and which haven't.

Whichever, please reconsider. Ten at a time is a vast improvement, but inferior to "All Remaining".
